Jackson family series to premiere Dec. 13

The show, to start airing Dec. 13, follows the lives of Michael Jackson's brothers Jackie, Jermaine, Tito and Marlon "as they prepare for a Jackson Five reunion, while also coming to terms with Michael's tragic loss," EW.com quoted the network as saying.

Pop icon Michael Jackson died June 25 at the age of 50.

"This Is It," a documentary about his last days rehearsing for a series of concerts that never happened, was No. 1 at the U.S. box office when it opened last weekend.
