(BURBANK, Calif. - March 7, 2023) Jeremy Renner is ready to make some Renner-vations! The two-time Academy Award(R) nominee and Marvel superhero joins forces again with Disney+ for the highly anticipated debut of his four-part Original series "Rennervations," from Disney Branded Television. Renner and his team of expert builders use their skills to reimagine decommissioned vehicles and rebuild them into mind-blowing creations that serve communities around the world. Every build has a purpose. All episodes of "Rennervations" premiere on Wednesday, April 12 exclusively on Disney+.
"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."
Behind the big screen, Renner is a construction veteran with a passion for purchasing and re-imagining huge vehicles with the help of his connections in the worldwide fabricator culture. With his best friend and business partner, Rory Millikin, and an all-star build crew, Renner travels the globe to reimagine decommissioned vehicles and rebuild them to serve a new purpose, such as 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 (Marvel Studios' "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier''), actress and entrepreneur Vanessa Hudgens ("Tick, Tick... Boom!"), actor and producer Anil Kapoor ("Mission Impossible," "Slumdog Millionaire") and singer and songwriter Sebastián Yatra ("Encanto"), who all share Renner's enthusiasm and join him to deliver the finished vehicles to each organization.
The series takes Jeremy around the world 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 build crew Roxy Bonilla, Justin Self and Merri Oswald, Akamu "AK" Whatley, Skiland "Ski" Judd, Ryan Gunter, and Nick Socha.
The projects, celebrities and organizations featured include:
· Chicago: Building a Mobile Music Bus (ft. Vanessa Hudgens)
Jeremy Renner and his best friend Rory rebuild a tour bus into a mobile music studio for The BASE Chicago, an organization that offers various after-school programs to help keep urban youths off the streets in the West Garfield Park neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. Jeremy wants to provide The BASE Chicago kids with a new musical outlet to encourage them to dream big, express themselves and discover their inner voice. He and his elite team of fabricators and mechanics breathe new life into a tour bus by reimagining, repurposing, and renovating it into a mobile music studio for the kids to record their own music, play instruments and let their creativity sing.

Jeremy wants to provide mobile water filtration to multiple communities and schools so they can drink groundwater that is currently non-potable. He and an elite team of local fabricators repurpose a delivery truck into a mobile water treatment facility that can travel to local communities and filter and clean existing groundwater rather than the communities trucking in clean water.

He and his elite team of fabricators repurpose a former city bus and rebuild it into a mobile dance studio to use as a classroom at the school and as a mobile event space around town. Then they deliver the mobile dance studio with help from two-time Latin GRAMMY Award(R)-recipient Sebastián Yatra.
· Reno: Building a Mobile Recreation Center (ft. Anthony Mackie)
