Rennervations trailer: Jeremy Renner refurbishes vehicles and changes lives in a new four-part series

Disney’s Rennervations trailer previews a four-part Original series starring Jeremy Renner as a fix-it man looking to make a difference.

Who needs Bob the Builder when you can call Jeremy Renner for your repair needs? The Avenger, musician, actor, and fix-it man, is proud to partner with Disney+ to launch Rennervations, a four-part Original series from Disney Branded Television. In Rennervations, Renner and his team of expert builders use their skills to reimagine decommissioned vehicles and rebuild them into mind-blowing creations that serve communities worldwide. Every build has a purpose—all episodes of Rennervations premiere on Wednesday, April 12, exclusively on Disney+. You can check out the official Rennervations trailer above.

Per Disney’s official press release for Rennervations:

Behind the big screen, Renner is a construction veteran with a passion for purchasing and reimagining 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 (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.

Rennervations takes Jeremy worldwide from Reno, Nevada, to Chicago, Illinois, 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 urgent needs. Then they use what they learned to build something incredible that will have a big impact.

“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.”

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. Then they deliver the mobile music studio with the help of actress and singer Vanessa Hudgens.

  • India: Building a Mobile Water Treatment Center (ft. Anil Kapoor)

Jeremy Renner and his best friend Rory make their first-ever trip ever to India, where they rebuild a delivery truck into a mobile water treatment facility for Uva Jagriti Sansthan, a nonprofit organization trying to deliver clean, drinkable water to communities across India. 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. Then, they deliver the mobile water treatment facility with the help of his “Mission: Impossible” co-star, Indian movie superstar Anil Kapoor.

  • Mexico: Building a Mobile Dance Studio (ft. Sebastián Yatra)

Jeremy Renner and his best friend Rory travel to Los Cabos, Mexico, where they rebuild a city bus into a mobile dance studio for Casa Hogar of Cabo San Lucas, a nonprofit organization offering full-time care and parenting to vulnerable kids unable to live with their families. After learning the kids at Casa Hogar lost their dance studio, Jeremy wants to create a new space for them to take dance classes and have recitals again. 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®-recipient Sebastián Yatra.

  • Reno: Building a Mobile Recreation Center (ft. Anthony Mackie)

Jeremy Renner and his best friend Rory rebuild a shuttle bus into a mobile recreation center for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northern Nevada, a charity based in Reno that creates and supports one-to-one mentoring relationships between adult volunteers and local kids. Jeremy and his elite team of fabricators breathe new life into a shuttle bus by renovating it into a mobile recreation center that includes a basketball hoop, soccer goal and computer lab that can drive to underserved rural communities. Then, they deliver the new mobile recreation center with help from Jeremy’s “Avengers” and “Hurt Locker” co-star Anthony Mackie.

Last week, Renner said he is doing “whatever it takes” to recover from his recent snow plow accident, resulting in 30 broken bones. Reports indicate Renner was attempting to save his nephew from being his by a sliding snow plow.

CNN obtained the report through public records request, which read, “The PistenBully snow groomer began sliding causing Renner to exit the vehicle without setting the emergency brake. Although the PistenBully had some mechanical issues, it is believed based on our mechanical inspection that the parking brake would keep the PistenBully from moving forward. When Renner attempted to stop or divert the PistenBully to avoid injury to [his nephew], he was pulled under the vehicle by the track and run over.”

The report also indicates the brake light might have malfunctioned, and “mechanical issues may have been a factor in this accident.” Renner’s nephew was able to assist him before he was airlifted to the hospital where he would receive surgery and spend time in the ICU. According to the report, “The Pistenbully rolled over him and continued down the road. He laid on the ground and focused on his breathing while (his nephew and others) rendered aid to him until medical personnel arrived on scene.”

We wish Jeremy the best in his recovery and the launch of Rennervations on Disney+. He has tenacity in spades and will stop at nothing to return to fighting form. Feel free to let us know what you think of the Rennervations trailer in the comments.
