E! gets on the boy band wagon this summer with a docu-series following the personal and professional lives of The Wanted.

The series will feature the five members of the breakout band as they live in Los Angeles, record their third album and prepare for a fall 2013 tour in the United States and Europe, hollywoodreporter.com reported Wednesday.

Ryan Seacrest will serve as one of the executive producers of the series.

“America has a long history of falling for British bad boy musicians, so it's no surprise that The Wanted are already beloved by legions of fans far and wide," Seacrest told the website.

"This talented and outspoken English-Irish band are setting their own course to fame and this journey is the foundation of the series. It's a road that's bound to include irresistible pop tracks along with plenty of humor, antics and drama behind-the-scenes, which I believe will further ignite fascination and even obsession with these guys."

The bandmates include Max George (who has denied dating Lindsay Lohan), Siva Kaneswaran, Jay McGuinness, Tom Parker and Nathan Sykes along with Nano Tissera, who keeps track of the band, Kaneswaran's girlfriend Areesha McCaffrey and Parker's party-hearty girlfriend Kelsey Hardwick, according to the website.

The half-hour show is tentatively titled "The Wanted Life."

Here's the video for the band's single "I Found You." Parental discretion advised.

Rita Sherrow grew up with TV. Yes, it was the ever-present “sister” from another techno mother. At first look, it was instant "Like." From then on, the TV had to be on in every room while she studied, elementary school through college. An Air Force brat, she attended school in three states (Oklahoma, Montana and Georgia) and two foreign countries (Germany and Bermuda) and graduated from Broken Arrow High School and the University of Tulsa with a degree in journalism/advertising. She first interned in the advertising world but, when a J-School professor (who also covered politics for the Tulsa World) offered her an internship at the newspaper, she took him up on it. The rest is history. She has served as bridal editor, senior features writer for the women’s section, food editor and is television editor of the Tulsa World. In addition to writing about TV shows and interviewing the stars for “Scene” stories, she also writes a TV column for Weekend and produces the Sunday TV World listings magazine.
