The Rock is making a YouTube series you'll have to pay for

YouTube Red is a version of the streaming service that requires a monthly fee to access. It's all about providing premium content from the kinds of creative forces you know and love, for extra monies.

The service has just picked up some real star power in the form of a few new shows, including one to be produced by Dwayne The Rock Johnson. Lifeline is a sci-fi series about insurance agents who travel forward in time up to 33 days in order to stop bad things from happening to their clients.

Sounds pretty cool and there's also a show on the way from director Doug Liman based on the Jumper series of novels (yay?!) and Community fella Dan Harmon has a new comedy concept in the works.

Would you pay extra for this kind of content? We'll have to wait and see, though currently YouTube Red isn't officially available in Ireland.
