Young Rock’s Coach O. will also make an appearance to host a “disastrous Christmas,” according to NBC. Another photo shows Matthew Willig, who plays Andre the Giant, dressed as Pére Noël the French version of Santa Claus.
Of the holiday plot and working with Johnson, Klan tells PEOPLE: “I had a blast directing our twisted Young Rock version of A Christmas Carol. The more Dwayne Johnsons on screen at once, the better!”
So far, there’s only been one season ofYoung Rock, but its plot is split into many different time periods. Brian Gewirtz, an executive producer on the show, explained the format in conversation withComicBook.
“When we first started conceiving [Young Rock], a lot of the brainstorming revolved around Dwayne telling stories of his life to our partners and the show creators, Nahnatchka Khan and Jeff Chang,” he said. “The stories were so wild and so buried throughout his life.”
Season 2 ofYoung Rockis expected to air on March 15, 2022, according to Johnson.
