Another celebrity family is entering the reality TV sphere. According to The Hollywood Reporter, a docuseries following the Governor of Louisiana, 85-year-old Edwin Edwards - who is still dubbed the "King of Louisiana" - and his family is set to premiere on A&E late next month. The series, titled The Governor's Wife, will mainly focus on Edwards, along with his 34-year-old wife Trina Grimes Scott and their children.

All things considered, Edwards and Scott's story is certainly reality television-friendly - they've got a huge age gap of 51 years, and their romance began when they became pen pals while Edwards was serving jail time for charges bribery and extortion incurred during his term as governor. The two were married upon his release in 2011.

The series is set for a February 27th premiere on A&E, at 10 PM.
