Dwayne Johnson’s Seven Bucks Productions Signs Another First-Look Deal With Disney

Just months after Dwayne Johnson’s Seven Bucks Production signed a first-look deal with Disney to develop content for both theatrical and streaming films, the relationship between the Rock and the Mouse House is expanding.

According to a new report from Deadline, Seven Bucks and 20th Television have reached a first-look deal that will see the Seven Bucks team develop and produce “comedy, drama, adult animation, limited and unscripted series for linear networks and streamers, with an emphasis on platforms across Disney Entertainment Television.”

“There are few producers more synonymous with franchise-building than Dwayne Johnson and Dany Garcia. DJ is arguably the biggest star on the planet, whose unmatchable charisma, charm, and magical likeability is infused into the characters and stories that Seven Bucks brings to the screen. Seven Bucks has had an incredible run working with Disney on the film side and we are thrilled to continue this legacy at the television studio,” 20th Television president Carey Burke said.

The Partnership Between Disney and Johnson Continues to Strengthen

Over the last several years, Disney and Johnson have continued to get cozy with each other.

Things really heated up when Seven Bucks and Disney collaborated on Jungle Cruise in 2021. Subsequently, Johnson also starred in the Disney+ series Behind the Attraction, which ran for two seasons.

Then, of course, there is Moana. In many ways, Johnson has been the face of the Moana franchise since the first film debuted in 2016. He is the only cast member who will reprise his role in the live-action version of the film and recently returned as Maui for Moana 2.

“Disney has been our trusted partner in storytelling and entertainment for years now, and we’re ecstatic to expand our partnership with them beyond film as we set out to work hard and achieve the same success in the television space,” Johnson and Garcia said.

“In 20th Television we have a partner who matches our ambition, our passion, and our commitment to bring authentic, innovative content to audiences all over the world. Collaborating with Dana Walden, Eric Schrier, Karey Burke, Carolyn Cassidy, and the entire team at 20th Television feels like an unlimited opportunity for creative storytelling, and most importantly, entertaining a lot of folks out there.”
