Parks and Recreation has been renewed for a sixth season on NBC, announced just a week after its season finale last Thursday. The "mockumentary" styled show has been the stations most consistent hit all year, quickly becoming a fixture on televisions across America. The finale featured an unexpected pregnancy, news that characters may be leaving the series, and Leslie Knope at perhaps her lowest moment with an entire town looking to get her fired. It is expected to be given a full season order to help NBC during its current comedy show transition period.
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has been a busy man in the last few years, and his life is about to get even busier when he returns to the TV screen, where his acting career began. Johnson is set to star in an HBO dramedy about a group of active and retired professional athletes living in Miami. Not much else is known about the series, but it will be reuniting Johnson with director Pete Berg, who directed him in 2003's The Rundown, and will be produced by Mark Wahlberg, who co-starred with him last month in Pain & Gain.
