After wrapping up his most recent WWE run by putting Solo Sikoa over at WWE Crown Jewel earlier this month in Saudi Arabia, a new project in Hollywood featuring John Cena has been announced.
The show
Variety reported today that Cena will do his first-ever talk show on Roku Originals as he will host and produce “What Drives You.” There will be eight episodes for the first season.
The synopsis reads as, “Cena is revving up the engine in “What Drives You,” a breakthrough talk show format, where he’ll hit the road with his celebrity friends in their favorite vehicles that hold a special meaning to them. In each episode, he’ll hitch a ride with a new guest for an in-depth interview & curiosity-fueled excursion, as they discuss a wide variety of both laugh-out-loud & deeply personal topics, all the while reminiscing about some of the guest’s favorite memories associated with their prized ride.”
John Cena’s Roku history
The series is the latest in the partnership between Roku and Cena, as he previously appeared in “Die Hart 2: Die Harter.” He also will be an executive producer for the upcoming docuseries “WWE Superstars of Tomorrow.”
ITV America’s Leftfield Pictures will produce it, while David George, Shawn Witt, Sean Moran, Jay Bienstock, Cena, and Dan Baime are the executive producers. Sean Boyle oversees the series on behalf of Roku.
