Spoilers for 'Young Rock' Season 1 Episode 4

'Young Rock,' Dwanye Johnson's new NBC comedy has been slowly gaining traction since its first episode. People enjoy tuning into the short episode weekly, as they not only see 'The Rock' speak of his early days but get to see what played out to make Dwayne the huge megastar he is today.

Unfortunately though, this week, there will be no new episode. Episode 3, 'On the Road Again' was a really good one with rival promoters and Ata's musical dream taking center stage, but Episode 4 will take us back to Dwayne's story. There is no indication as to why there is a week hiatus in the flow of the episodes, but it could be that since it's a short season, the network is spacing out the episodes. Either way, short breaks are common with sitcoms. Read on to learn about what the new episode will speak on when it comes to Dwayne's rise to the top.

The fourth episode 'Check Your Head' will air on Tuesday, March 16, at 8 pm EST on NBC. If you'd like to stream the show live, you can watch it on Hulu or YouTube TV. New episodes of the sitcom will be available on Peacock eight days after it airs on the NBC network. The official synopsis of the episode reads: "Miami, 1990: Dwayne looks to crack the starting lineup as a freshman for the famed Miami Hurricanes football team attracting the attention of players, coaches, and celebrities. However, an unexpected incident sends his season and life into turmoil."

We're excited for 'Check Your Head,' as, besides wrestling, football was a significant part of Dwayne's life. There is nothing better than having Dwayne narrate his own story as actors act out his past, with a bit of comedy of course. Some of us, just watch the sitcom for the Randall Park and Dwayne Johnson's banter - it's probably the highlight of every episode.
