Jeremy Renner‘s late project Rennervations is launching on Disney+ Wednesday, April 12, an exciting automotive show that takes decommissioned commercial vehicles and gives them new life and purpose. Renner and his team of expert builders use their skills to transform vehicles for charities around the world, solving unique problems and building some amazing vehicles of change.
“I’ve been on this journey for many years and I started in my community by building vehicles for people in need. But a few years ago I thought, how can I plus this up and create a bigger impact on a whole community – and that’s what this show does,” said Renner. “This is one of my biggest passions and it’s a driving force in my recovery, and I can’t wait for the world to see it.”
Renner travels the globe turning a tour bus into a mobile music studio, a delivery truck into a mobile water treatment facility, a shuttle bus into a mobile recreation center, and a city bus into a mobile dance studio. Along the way, Renner teams up with actor and producer Anthony Mackie, actress and singer Vanessa Hudgens, actor and producer Anil Kapoor, and singer and songwriter Sebastián Yatra, all of who share Renner’s enthusiasm and join him to deliver the finished vehicles to each organization.
The series takes Jeremy from his hometown of Reno, Nevada to Chicago, Illinois, to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and Rajasthan, India. In each location, Jeremy connects with leading organizations like Big Brothers Big Sisters, The BASE Chicago, Uva Jagriti Sansthan, and Casa Hogar of Cabo San Lucas to learn about the needs of the local communities. Jeremy and Rory meet with organization leaders to better understand the community’s most urgent needs, then they use what they learned to build something incredible that will have a big impact.
Jeremy’s Rennervation team includes Rory Millikin, Jeremy’s friend and business partner, Corey Wardleigh, lead mechanic, Rob “Bender” Park, lead fabricator, along with the building crew Roxy Bonilla, Justin Self and Merri Oswald, Akamu “AK” Whatley, Skiland “Ski” Judd, Ryan Gunter, and Nick Socha.
We had a chance to preview the series and the entire team enjoyed watching as derelict buses and trucks were transformed into amazing resources for charities around the world. Watch Rennervations on Disney+ starting April 12th.
