The Wanted Gets Their Own Show
by Shannon Keirnan
As the popular band heads to California to record a third album, E! will be watching.
The band will be the new subject of a reality show, produced by Ryan Seacrest Productions (who also sponsors the popular “Keeping Up with The Kardashians”), SB Productions, and Global TV UK.
A half-hour series following the boys as they live together in the Hollywood Hills, the series is set to premiere in the United States June, and go worldwide in the fall.
President of E!, Suzanne Kolb, says the show will offer audiences the "perfect blend of music, bromance and superstardom."
Seacrest, who is executive producing, hints there will be "plenty of humor, antics and drama behind the scenes."
E! characterizes each member of The Wanted so fans can pick a favorite:
“At 24, Max George is the ladies' man of the group and has been linked with Lindsay Lohan. He nearly signed a deal to play football with Preston North End in Manchester before joining the group. Following a very public break-up with his ex-fiancee, Max is playing the field … and loving it.”
“Siva Kaneswaran, 24, is the most serious and Zen-like member of the band.”
“Funny but elusive, Jay McGuinness can be the most secretive of the group, and at 22, possesses a ‘Jekyll and Hyde’ personality.”
“Tom Parker, 24, has strong opinions on where the band should be headed, which often gets him into hot water with his band mates. He's got a girlfriend who fits right in with the guys but the relationship can be challenged by all the time Tom spends with the group.”
“Nathan Sykes, 19, is the baby of the group but has proven to be one of the most mature and grounded.”
Will you tune in to watch the band’s “bromance” as they prepare for their 2013 tour?
