Shove over, Jon & Kate. Here come Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon and Randy.

The Jackson brothers are finally getting ready for their close-ups, with A&E officially unveiling the debut date for the family's long-in-the-works reality series.

Filming, which focuses on the siblings and their respective families, actually began nearly a year ago but was shelved after Michael scuttled a proposed Jacksons reunion concert. It was the singer's shocking death in June that sparked renewed interest.

Producers scrambled to retool the series to include the family's reactions to Michael's passing. There have been conflicting signals from A&E about whether the show will include video of Michael's three children, superstar sister Janet or family matriarch Katherine.

The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty premieres Dec. 13 with back-to-back hour-long installments and ultimately run a total of six episodes.
