The Wanted are expanding their footprint with a bold, multi‑faceted project that blends studio work, live touring, and a new television venture. The UK pop quintet is headed to California to record material for their third studio album, map out a United States and European tour, and step before cameras for their own TV series. Viewers will get an intimate, behind‑the‑scenes look at how the band writes, rehearses, and survives the rhythm of life on tour, weaving together music creation, performance energy, and everyday moments that shape a big‑time pop act.
Executives describe the concept as more than a typical reality show. The program is designed to offer total access into the band’s world as they pursue music dreams while balancing studio sessions, media commitments, and personal moments. It aims to pair electrifying performance footage with candid documentary moments, helping audiences understand how a modern pop act coordinates teamwork, publicity, and fan engagement while keeping the connection to the people who support them on E!
The Wanted consists of five members: Max George, known for his confident stage presence; Siva Kaneswaran, regarded as the calm, steady voice of the group; Jay McGuinness, the humorist who keeps things light; Tom Parker, the practical realist who anchors decisions; and Nathan Skyes, the youngest member with a strong drive to give back to the fans. The cast’s varied personalities promise a dynamic on‑screen chemistry, from high‑energy performances to relaxed backstage moments that reveal how a close‑knit team navigates friendship, ambition, and the glare of public life.
The show was being developed under the working title The Wanted Life, with the understanding that the name could shift in the months ahead before it premieres on E. Branding choices like this often shift during development as producers test tone and audience appeal, aiming to capture the band’s journey in a way that feels authentic and compelling to fans across North America and beyond.
Fans were invited to share their thoughts and to imagine which other bands would benefit from their own reality series. The call to engage runs across social platforms, inviting discussion on Facebook and Twitter. The concept meets viewers who crave real moments and a closer look at the people behind the music, strengthening the bond between the group and its supporters.
