TNT has ordered a new unscripted series called "Rhodes to the Top". The show will take a closer look at the Rhodes household as Cody and Brandi prepare to become parents while managing their AEW duties.
TNT issued a statement following the announcement on Dynamite:
"Tonight's action-packed episode of 'AEW DYNAMITE' delivered another special announcement for soon-to-be parents Cody and Brandi Rhodes. TNT has ordered a new unscripted series, 'Rhodes to the Top', from Warner Bros.
