Disney Gets Real with Jonas Brothers
The Jonas Brothers are keeping it real for the Disney Channel.
The musical siblings have signed on to star in a reality series for the family-friendly network, currently known by the working title Jonas Brothers: Living the Dream.
The series will follow the brothers—Kevin, 20, Joe, 18, and Nick, 15—on their current Look Me in the Eyes tour, with cameras capturing both their on- and offstage antics.
Fans will get a glimpse into the pop stars' tour-bus travels, their rehearsals and their family interactions, as well as their adventures in such pursuits as skydiving and go-cart racing.
The series is slated to premiere this spring.
"We've been filming a really cool reality show," Kevin Jonas tells E! News. "They've been following us pretty much the entire tour on and off, so it'l be fun for the kids to see what we go through day in and day out and how absolutely crazy it is for us. It's really exciting."
The Jonases, who have a huge following among the teen and tween girl set, released their eponymous sophomore album on the Disney-owned Hollywood Records label in August.
The album proved to be a hit and was certified platinum in February, no doubt getting a boost from the brothers' appearance on Miley Cyrus' sellout Best of Both Worlds tour.
Living the Dream won't be the first small-screen collaboration between Disney and the Jonases. The network previously greenlighted a scripted series, J.O.N.A.S., and a TV movie, Camp Rock, featuring the brothers.
No production date has been set for the scripted series, but Camp Rock is slated to air in June.
Up ahead, the brothers are due to hit the road again for their summer Burning Up tour, which kicks off July 4 in Toronto. They will also be part of the lineup at KIIS-FM's 2008 Wango Tango concert, taking place at Los Angeles' Verizon Amphitheater on May 10.
"It's going to be in full effect this summer," says Kevin. "We're just really, really pumped about all the dates. It's going to be giant amphitheaters everywhere.
"We've got other great things planned and a lot of fun stuff for the band, so we’re really pumped."
