Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is getting down to business. The newly-returned wrestler has announced he will star in and executive produce Electus' upcoming global action reality series, "The Hero".

Johnson will oversee all the show's contestants who will be stationed in three teams on three different continents. Each episode eliminates contestants by testing their morals, courage and physical strength with only one emerging as "the hero."



“'The Hero' will bridge the digital and physical world on the small screen in an unmatched fashion, enabling fans to determine the fate of the show's contestants entirely through social media and on-screen decision making,” Johnson said in a statement.

TNT Orders Dwayne Johnson Reality Series
9/5/2012
by Philiana Ng


TNT has greenlit an unscripted series featuring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

Tentatively titled "The Hero", from Ben Silverman's Electus and 5x5 Media, is a new reality competition series that will set out to find the next great hero. Johnson has been tapped to host the eight-episode series and will executive produce with producing partner Dany Garcia.

"The Hero" is slated for a January premiere.





"The Hero" will bring 10 ordinary people together in a house and then assign them various missions that will test their brains, their brawn and even their morality.

The show will challenge the competitors to prove they've got what it takes to be heroes, pushing them to the limits to see what they are willing (and able) to overcome, undergo or sacrifice for the sake of their fellow contestants.

The new reality series will actively include social media into the show's DNA. Each week, viewers will vote for the contestant they deem "most heroic."





"'The Hero' is a great fit for TNT's drama fans, whether they enjoy stories with a lot of action, suspense and danger, or stories that offer inspiration through the heroic actions of everyday people," said Michael Wright, president, head of programming for TNT, TBS and Turner Classic Movies.

"We're also very excited about the extensive social-media aspect of 'The Hero', which will engage viewers on an entirely new level and develop a strong emotional investment in the competitors and challenges."
