The trailer for The Rock’s new reality show Wake Up Call dropped this week (check it out below), so to shed a light on the kind of work Dwayne Johnson is leading on the show, we took a few of the Instagram shots the Hercules star posted during filming nine months ago so you can get a taste of what is going on. First things first, however, and here is how The Rock described the premise of the show when promoting the Instagram trailer.”Here’s the exclusive Instagram trailer for my new transformation show #WakeUpCall No cash prize at the end and no one gets voted off. Just good people who are down on their luck and need a helping hand. Wanted to create a TV show where real change can happen – if you’re willing to put in the work. #StartsWithOurTwoHands #WakeUpCallFollow”Here is the caption The Rock placed with the above photo: “Wanted to create a reality show that regardless of how much you may be struggling – have faith and be willing to put in the work – and I’ll provide an opportunity for you to succeed. Getting to know some very special people on our new TNT show, #WakeUpCall”Maybe someone close to you might need a wake up call in their life. You might get some tips on how to best approach that person and how to support them properly from the big man himself.

Alyssa
In The Rock’s words: “Like Alyssa, when I was 16 I was getting arrested and challenged to stay on the right path. My point here was to show her that we can’t ever scrub away our past, but we can always create a new slate.. starting today. This amazing young girl will make it, one step at a time. Happy with the progress we’re seeing on our new show, #WakeUpCall”

Respect – Earn It
In The Rock’s words: “Told her you ain’t on trial with me and Im not gonna judge you… When I met, Alyssa, she had gone from a brilliant 3.8 GPA to high school drop out with over 50 offenses and multiple arrests. Everyone wrote her off as “a failure”. She asked me for help.. I told her “you put in the work and I’ll meet you half way’. She did. Enrolled back in school and is working harder than ever towards her dream of being a firefighter. Proud of her and her hard work! Can’t wait for you to see her journey this fall on #WakeUpCall #RespectIsGivenWhenEarned #EarnIt”

Meet Me Half Way
In The Rock’s words: “6 years ago when his sister suddenly passed away – he quit on life. Stop working completely, cut off relationships and shut himself out from the world. Literally has done nothing for 6 years and not knowing how to get out of his despair. He asked me for help.. I said ‘meet me half way and put in the work’. I’m committed to this man to show him there’s a great life out there worth living and will help create an opportunity for him to get ahead. Making some great progress on our show, #WakeUpCall #MeetMeHalfWay”

You Can Do It
In The Rock’s words: “He shut himself off from society for years. Battling depression and thoughts of suicide. Kevin Lamar met me half way and put in the hard work. This pic was taken 8 months ago – I just saw this man for the first time since then.. Wait to you see what he’s done w/ his life on our new transformational show, TNT’s WAKE UP CALL this December. #Inspiring #HePutInTheHardWork #DudesAChickMagnetNow”

Kenny
In The Rock’s words: “At one time, Kenny Anderson was an NBA All-Star and one of the best players in the world. Today, he’s a struggling man trying to get better. Spent hours with him in this empty arena talkin’ man to man.. Life isn’t about gettin’ knocked down.. but gettin’ back up. One step at a time… Proud of the progress we’re seeing on our show #WakeUpCall”

With Age Comes Wisdom
In The Rock’s words: “Spent the day at Independence Hall Retirement Community. Wanted to gain wisdom from the real experts of life on the importance of balancing family and work. When our time was done and I drove away, a crazy thought hit me… not one person told me, “ya know, I sure wish I would’ve spent more time at work…” Amen. Special people, with special stories. Truly my honor. Amazing day on our show, #WakeUpCall #FamilyFirst”

Dreams Require Work
In The Rock’s words: “Tears of excitement are good…;). Surprised this 8th grade class (they went ape sh*t;) to talk with them about the power of their potential and putting in hard work to achieve their dreams. I was very impressed with these students. A very cool day! #AcademyOfArtsCharterSchool #WakeUpCall #TeamBringIt”
