NEW YORK -- Leave it to the Rock to spoil a surprise.
An hour before Studio71's (formerly Collective Digital Studio) NewFront presentation on Tuesday, Dwayne Johnson revealed on Instagram that he's partnering with the company for a new YouTube channel.
Titled "Seven Bucks Digital Studios," the new venture will be a "natural extension of Johnson’s expertise and passion for social media platforms and digital content creation," Studio71 said in a release.

He's frequently appeared in YouTube videos, including with Studio71's Lilly Singh.

The YouTube Channel "will deliver monthly collaborations with top digital native talent as well as an action-filled scripted online series."
Seven Bucks Digital Studios is expected to debut this summer.
