When a series has formed a fairly good viewership for the previous two seasons, viewers frequently talk and speculate on whether it will be renewed or canceled for any future installments. So, if you’ve been waiting for the next chapter of Young Rock, we have some exciting news for you. We’ve put together a list of everything you need to know about the official release date, plot, and cast, which will definitely get you ready for the next season. Here’s all we know about Young Rock Season 3.

Will Young Rock return for Season 3?

Yes, it’s official that NBC has finally renewed Young Rock for a third season. The renewal was confirmed on May 12, 2022. The announcement was shared on the official NBC Twitter handle, quoting, “Big flex. #YoungRock will return for Season 3!” 

Take a look at the official announcement below: 

Uli Latukefu who portrays an 18–20-year-old Johnson, shared the news on his Twitter handle and stated, “Glad you guys are enjoying the show and super grateful to be coming back! Enjoy the rest of season 2!”

Adam Ray who portrays Vince McMahon also shared the news on his Twitter handle and stated, “LFG!!! More Vince McMahon coming! SEASON 3 babyyy. The story continues. Can’t wait to get back with my #youngrock fam”

Brian Gewirtz, executive producer of the series also shared the updates on his official Twitter handle and stated, “We’re BACK baby!  Can’t wait to dive into Season 3 of #YoungRock! This is shaping up to be a helluva week!”

Young Rock Season 3 Release Date 

As the renewal of the series was revealed yesterday by NBC and the second season of Young Rock is still airing on the channel. So, asking for the official release date for Young Rock Season 3 is a little too soon. But, if we have to predict it seems likely the season will release sometime in early 2023 like the prior seasons. Of course, this is just speculation. Furthermore, the second season still has three episodes left to air in the following weeks, with the last episode, Let the People Decide, scheduled to air on May 24, 2022.

So, the news of the series’ renewal before the conclusion of Season 2 is a positive sign, indicating that the development for the next season was already in the works ahead of time, and viewers may not have to wait long as the series’ production appears to be pre-planned. We suggest the viewers to wait patiently for some time as these updates will be confirmed by the network in the near future as the second season draws closer to its finale episode and the production of the third season commence on time. 

Take a look at some fans’ reactions to the renewal

Young Rock Season 3 Plot

The sitcom is set in a framing plot in which Johnson is a presidential contender in the United States in 2032. Johnson participates in an interview or other interaction in each episode, which causes him to flashback to a narrative from one of three periods in his life with occasional episodes where all three periods are shown.

Johnson is portrayed as a 10-year-old in Hawaii, a high school student in Pennsylvania, and a college student and football player at the University of Miami in the first season.  In the second season, some of the periods shown change setting, but the same actors portray them.

As of May 13, 2022, the series’ second season is still airing. So far only the first nine episodes have premiered. The official synopsis of episode nine states, “Hawaii, 1984: On the day of the Brawl-B-Q, Rocky’s relationship with partner Tony Atlas hits a breaking point; Dewey becomes the object of multiple school crushes; the extortion case against Lia reaches its conclusion.”

As a result, the remaining episodes will follow up on this premise and explore more in the last three episodes. We have listed down the official synopsis released by the network of the upcoming episodes. 

The official synopsis of episode ten states, “Nashville, 1987: Rocky takes a promising new wrestling job but is faced with a difficult decision; Ata spends a night out with Miss Elizabeth; teenage Dwayne starts to worry about his dad’s health; in 2032, Dwayne seeks advice from an old friend.”

The official synopsis of episode eleven states, “Memphis, 1996: The WWF sends Dwayne to Memphis to develop his wrestling skills; when a booker bullies Downtown Bruno, Dwayne decides to fight back; in 2032, candidate Johnson’s conflict with Dr. Julien comes to a head.”

The official synopsis of episode twelve states, “In 2032, candidate Johnson rides the ups and downs of election day; in 1984, Rocky and Ata are at a crossroads with their futures in wrestling; in 1987, teenage Dwayne learns that the family is leaving Nashville.”

These synopsis gives the viewers a little hint at the plot but not the full picture which the show creators have translated from the pages to screen. So, we can’t predict the major details or surprises which might happen in these episodes and how the season will end, or what cliffhangers and plot threads will develop in these three episodes, which airs every Tuesday in the coming weeks. So, we suggest fans to patiently wait and watch the episodes to draw conclusions that will lead to Young Rock Season 3.
