Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson wants to give fans an advance look at his new TNT series WAKE UP CALL this Thanksgiving, so TNT is offering a full episode of the inspiring new show via VOD and digital on-demand. Fans will be able to watch the sneak peek episode through the Watch TNT app & www.tntdrama.com starting THANKSGIVING Day. The episode will be made available via TNT On Demand over the following few days. Viewers can watch the sneak peek episode all the way up until Friday, Dec. 12, when WAKE UP CALL premieres on TNT, and fans are treated to an all-new episode.

In Wake Up Call, Rock will lend a helping hand to everyday people who are facing enormous challenges in their lives. From dysfunctional homes and dead-beat dads to sports teams that don't gel and businesses struggling to survive, Rock descends into the chaos of everyday problems to pull good people up by the bootstraps, reminding them what hard work, passion and true discipline can accomplish. TNT's WAKE UP CALL is set to air Fridays at 9 p.m. (ET/PT), beginning Dec. 12.

Each segment on WAKE UP CALL will be a journey for Rock and his team. With early wake-up calls, emotional reunions and near-impossible goals, everyone who comes in contact with Rock's electric sense of personal motivation will grow from it, finding inner strength and heart. Each episode will feature one of Rock's celebrity friends as a special guest mentor, including UFC President Dana White, Chef Rocco DiSpirito, celebrity stylist and host Jeannie Mai, as well as rapper/producer Juicy J.

Wake Up Call is being produced by Electus, 5x5 Media and 7 Bucks Entertainment. Serving as executive producers are Ben Silverman (The Office, Jane The Virgin), Chris Grant (Gladiators, King of the Nerds), Corie Henson (Running Wild with Bear Grylls) and Jimmy FOX (Fashion Star, King of the Nerds) of Electus; Craig Armstrong (Survivor, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, Food Revolution), Rick Ringbakk (The Amazing Race, Fashion Star) and Charles Wachter (King of the Nerds, American Gladiators) of 5x5 Media; and Dwayne Johnson and Dany Garcia (Snitch, The Hero) of 7 Bucks Entertainment.
