March 2024 · 4 minute read

John Cena is bringing his first talk series to Roku Originals.

Hosted and produced by Cena, “What Drives You” will follow Cena and his celebrity friends as they hit the road in the guests’ favorite vehicles. During these in-depth interviews, the guests will reminisce on the memories associated with their special ride while engaging in both hilarious and deeply personal conversations.

“The car you drive and where you drive it can say a lot about who you are, from your personality type to what you value and prioritize the most,” Cena said in a statement. “‘What Drives You’ is all about tapping into this and each guest’s unique connection to their car, and a destination close to their heart, as the crux of a candid and wide-ranging conversation. It’s a great opportunity for me to ride shotgun and learn from some of the world’s most entertaining and inspiring individuals.”
