Boy band The Wanted signs on for E! reality series

NEW YORK (AP) — The Wanted is trying to keep it real: The British boy band has signed on to do a reality series on E!

The fivesome announced Wednesday that their show will debut in June. A press release said the behind-the-scenes series will be "unvarnished" and "nonglossy." The Wanted broke onto the U.S. music scene with the Top 5 hit "Glad You Came." They dropped their self-titled U.S. debut EP last year and have released two successful albums and multiple singles in the United Kingdom.

The group is planning a full-length album and international tour for the fall. Their U.S. manager is Scooter Braun, who also manages Justin Bieber. The band members include Max George, Nathan Sykes, Jay McGuiness, Tom Parker and Siva Kaneswaran.
