This week’s Rock Project – partnership with CNN for new TV series

Continuing the trend of announcing a new project once per week, The Rock’s Seven Bucks Productions will be partnering with CNN to create a new TV show.

CNN announced Wednesday a new original series titled “Soundtracks: Songs That Made History” produced by Rock’s production company. (Deadline.com Report)

The eight-part series scheduled to premiere in 2017 will “explore the music tied to iconic moments in history.”

“Every episode will cover a tragedy, triumph, or the start of a movement – and the music that came to define it. From the March on Washington to the riots at Stonewall, the moon landing to Hurricane Katrina, music has played a part in celebrating, criticizing, or amplifying history.”

The series is produced by Show of Force and Seven Bucks Productions. Executive producers are Rock, Dany Garcia, Hiram Garcia, and former WWE head writer Brian Gewirtz.

ICYMI, @CNN is teaming up with @TheRock to bring you great TV! https://t.co/l78NXTqFbX https://t.co/TeGV7hRmGq
