Young Rock Showrunner Nahnatchka Khan on Writing Wrestling Icons and Striking a Balance Between Real-Life Hardships and Humor

Skip to main content Currently Reading Young Rock Showrunner Nahnatchka Khan on Writing Wrestling Icons and Striking a Balance Between Real-Life Hardships and Humor Mónica Marie Zorrilla, provided by Feb. 15, 2021 FacebookTwitterEmail Nahnatchka Khan grew up watching wrestling legends like “The Iron Sheik” with her Iranian immigrant family on Saturday nights in the 1980s. Fast-forward to now, and the showrunner of NBC’s “Young Rock” is hoping you’ll sit down with your family and watch her adaptation of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s life on Tuesday nights. Khan is in familiar territory, as she was also the creator and executive producer of ABC’s “Fresh Off the Boat,” another sitcom inspired by a real person (Taiwanese-American restaurateur, Eddie Huang). But, retelling and reimagining in a way that felt revealing for someone as well-known as “The Rock” was a unique challenge.
