Disney is getting a double shot of Jeremy Renner in the space of a week.

Last week, it was an interview with Diane Sawyer for Disney-owned ABC News -- Renner’s first since the horrendous snowplow accident that nearly killed him in January.

This week, it’s a new four-part series on Disney+ in which the 52-year-old actor is seen spearheading the construction of mobile facilities for charitable causes.

Titled “Rennervations,” the show starts streaming on Wednesday (April 12). Renner is billed as host of the show, which has him working with designers and metal workers to repurpose trucks, vans and buses for use as mobile studios and the like.

Each of the four episodes will feature the construction of one of these truck and bus conversions.

In Episode One, Renner and his team will convert a tour bus into a mobile music studio for use by urban youths in Chicago.

Episode Two will have Renner traveling to India to oversee the building of a mobile water treatment center.

In Episode Three, it’s a mobile dance studio for a community in Mexico, and in Episode Four, it’s a mobile recreation center (seen in the photo above with Renner, left) for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northern Nevada.

Renner is an executive producer of “Rennervations” along with Rory Milliken, a life-long friend who is also Renner’s business partner.

Renner is no stranger to the business of re-fabricating and restoring vehicles. He happens to collect emergency vehicles that he keeps on a ranch he owns in Nevada.

According to internet accounts, his collection is heavy on firetrucks, but he also owns other such vehicles such as ambulances. The snowplow in the New Year’s Day accident belonged to him.

“Rennervations” was filmed and produced before the accident. Indeed, the injuries he sustained would have made it impossible to do the show.

In the interview with Diane Sawyer seen last Thursday night on ABC, Renner revealed that he broke more than 30 bones in the accident in which the plow, at least partially, ran him over.

The accident took place on a private road leading to Renner’s Nevada home near Reno that had been snowed in.

Renner was driving the plow, which he was using to tow one of his cars through the heavy snow. A nephew was behind the wheel of the car, which became stuck.

Renner told Sawyer that he jumped off the plow to help, but neglected to set the parking brake. 

When the plow began rolling forward toward the car, Renner attempted to jump back on it to put on the brakes but the jump went awry and he ended up under it.

Renner is currently the star of the Paramount+ series “Mayor of Kingstown.” The show’s second season, which was already in the can, started streaming on January 15, two weeks after the accident.
