NBC canned both The Rock-inspired comedy series, Young Rock along with Grand Crew on Friday.  The pro wrestling comedy featured Dwayne Johnson, as the sYoung Rock revealed the story of different chapters of Johnson’s life.

From growing up in a strong and resilient family to being surrounded by the wild characters of his professional wrestling family to playing football at the University of Miami, the show explored the crazy rollercoaster that has shaped Dwayne into the man he is today and the larger-than-life characters he’s met along the way.

Young Rock used several current WWE stars throughout its three seasons along with actors portraying some of pro wrestlers most-known and most notorious figures. This past season, Becky Lynch took on the role of Cyndi Lauper.

Part of the reason for the cancellation was a dip in linear ratings.  Season 3 averaged 1.4 million total viewers, while season 2 drew an average of 2.23 million viewers.

The now third and final season ended its 13-episode run this past February.  The series was produced by Universal Television, Seven Bucks Productions and Fierce Baby Productions.

As we move closer to the airing of B&B’s Italy remote, which begins on June 16th and will run through June 28th, CBS shared, “The City of Eternal Love and its stunning architectural beauty will be the setting of a magically romantic story, the preview of Hope Logan’s (Annika Noelle) elegant new fashion collection is a triumph, but the magic of the moment could either break, or fulfill, the promise of true love.”

Congratulations are in order for The Bold and the Beautiful’s Matthew Atkinson (Thomas Forrester).  Matthew is now engaged to be married to his longtime girlfriend, Brytnee Ratledge.  The couple made the announcement on June 9th.

Several of Matthew’s B&B co-stars co-signed the happy news in the comment section of the duo’s IG posts including: Tanner Novlan (Finn, B&B) with  “Biggest congratulations, guys!” and Courtney Hope (Sally, Y&R and ex-B&B) expressing, “Yahhhhhh congrats!”
