Premise
Rennervations is an original four-part series that embraces Jeremy Renner's lifelong passion to give back to communities around the world by reimagining unique purpose-built vehicles to meet a community's needs.[8] Behind the big screen, Jeremy is a construction aficionado, and he is heavily invested in the highly creative fabricator culture that exists across the globe and hopes to change lives with these skills and inspire others to do the same. In each episode, Jeremy has the help of his celebrity friends – actress and singer Vanessa Hudgens, Indian actor, megastar and "Mission: Impossible" co-star Anil Kapoor, Latin music superstar Sebastián Yatra, and "Avengers" and "Hurt Locker" co-star Anthony Mackie – to deliver the repurposed vehicle helping each organization fulfill their mission.[9]
Joel Keller of Decider asserted, "Rennervations is a touch frantic and a little unhinged, but that just seems to be a reflection of its star’s personality. We love seeing the conversions and the organizations that will get these really fun new vehicles."[16] Alison Herman of Variety said, "Rennervations is designed to be a feel-good show, following the actor as he restores retired vehicles for use by youth-focused charities. But offscreen events have conspired to give its predictable triumphs — assignment, engineering, execution, delivery — an added dimension"[17] Tony Bradley of Forbes wrote, "Rennervations is a unique series that highlights the importance of community service and the role that technology plays in making ambitious projects possible. Renner and his team demonstrate the power of collaboration, innovation, and education in driving positive change in communities worldwide."[18] Brandon Zachary of Comic Book Resources stated, "There's a sweetness to Renner and his passions that prove infectiously charming. A well-constructed series, Rennervations is elevated by the genuine sincerity of its presentation."[19] Joly Herman of Common Sense Media gave the series a grade of 4 out of 5 stars, praised the presence of positive messages and role models, citing teamwork and benevolence, and complimented the educational value, writing, "Pace lags a little, but strong messages shine through."[20]
