The Rock Breaks His 'Ballers' Season 5 Silence on Instagram

But on Sunday, The Rock shared in an Instagram post that Ballers season five recently started production after the actor wrapped up the upcoming Disney movie, Jungle Cruise.

"This series has been a helluva learning curve to produce and star in - but what will always matter most is you guys making us HBO's #1 highest rated 30min show for years now," Johnson wrote.

Johnson also reflected on the similarities between the character of Spencer and himself, writing that they're "exactly one in the same."

"We look you directly in the eyes when we shake your hand. If we give our word to get something done - it gets done," Johnson wrote. "If you cross us, we rip your jugular out. And there's no problem that tequila (and maybe a few pills) can't help fix "

This series has been a helluva learning curve to produce and star in - but what will always matter most is you guys making us HBOs #1 highest rated 30min show for years now. THANK YOU for rockin with us. I loved every minute of playing this character, Spencer Strasmore because were exactly one in the same. We look you directly in the eyes when we shake your hand. If we give our word to get something done - it gets done. If you cross us, we rip your jugular out. And theres no problem that tequila (and maybe a few pills) cant help fix #ballers #season5 #hbo #RoyceDa65 A post shared by therock (@therock) on Jun 2, 2019 at 3:48pm PDT

Johnson shared another post in reference to Ballers on Monday, which shows him making a heartfelt farewell speech to co-star John David Washington on the set.

"Usually this is reserved for our first AD to do something like this, but considering our past, considering our history, considering where we've come from, I wanted to be the one to do this and send this person home with a special goodbye," The Rock said in the IGTV post. "When I think about our growth not only as actors, but as brothers, this guy for sure will make us all proud and bring an Oscar home one day."

The Rock called Washington "the highest quality human being."

Season 5 of Ballers will pick up after Spencer sued the NCAA and publicly blamed the organization for his brothers suicide. The ensuing PR fiasco allowed Quincy (Eli Goree) to once again become eligible to play for USC. It's unclear whether the lawsuit is still in play for the upcoming season and how large a role the showdown with the NCAA will play.

Ballers' return adds to an already very busy year for The Rock, whose Fast & Furious spin-off, Hobbs & Shaw, premieres in August and Jumanji 3 hits theaters in December, in addition to his collaboration with Under Armour .
