On the NBC comedy, Adrian Groulx plays 10-year-old “Dewey” Johnson, Bradley Constant portrays Johnson at age15 and Uli Latukefu is Johnson as a student at the University of Miami. How will Young Rock deal with each actor aging if the show succeeds and has a long run? “Like Dwayne alluded to, his life is so big and there are so many stories to tell that I imagine there’s even a season pre-Adrian,” showrunner Nahnatchka Khan said at the TV press tour. “There’s more seasons to tell in Hawaii. There’s a lot of places we can jump to in Dwayne’s big book of life. So once we determine these next stories and these next timelines we want to tell, I think that’s going to be our plan moving forward.” Meanwhile, Johnson says of the different timelines: “Let’s not take the easy route. We use these terms ‘wild’ and ‘crazy’ and those are great sizzle words that we use as we promote this thing, but it was incredibly complicated and it was incredibly tough growing up. We specifically went with these timelines in my life that were very defining times.” ALSO: Watch Young Rock's official trailer.
