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.
