The brothers Jackson are finally getting ready for their closeup with A&E officially unveiling the debut date for the family's long-in-the-works reality series.
Filming on the series, focusing on the siblings and their respective families, actually began nearly a year ago. The project was shelved after Michael scuttled a proposed Jacksons reunion concert, but got renewed interest after his shocking death in June.
Producers scrambled to retool the series to include the family's reactions to Michael's passing. There has 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 will premiere on Dec. 13 with back-to-back hourlong installments and ultimately run a total of six episodes.
