Mohamad El Masri will write the series which is currently titled TRE CNT (a.k.a TRE COUNT). The project will tell the story of Cassius Jones, a young dockworker and struggling pro-wrestler who uses the life insurance money he inherited from his grandfather for start-up cash and the deed to a shotgun house to start his backward wrestling empire in Houston.

HBO has previously worked with Rae, Garcia, and Johnson. Rae currently stars in, executive produces, and co-created Insecure and is an executive producer for A Black Lady Sketch Show. Johnson and Garcia produced the series Ballers and Johnson also starred in it.

Johnson’s involvement in the series authenticates it as he’s most well-known as one of the most famous WWE wrestlers, The Rock, and he won several championships and headlined major pay-per-views during his wrestling career.

The Kumail Nanjiani and Issa Rae comedy The Lovebirds is the first movie to land at Netflix. The feature from Paramount marks the first time that a studio movie loses its theatrical release and will head straight to a streaming platform. 

News of a digital launch rather than a theatrical release isn’t much of a surprise, with movies now heading into the home faster than ever before including Sonic the Hedgehog, The Invisible Man, Onward, I Still Believe, Bloodshot, The Hunt, Emma, Birds of Prey and more. 

The Lovebirds, directed by Michael Showalter, follows Nanjiani and Rae as a couple who experience a defining moment in their relationship when they are unintentionally embroiled in a murder mystery.
