A new reality series coming to Reelz could offer a glimpse into the closely guarded world of the Jackson family. 

Living With the Jacksons features Michael Jackson's sister-in-law and nieces and nephews who "grew up inside the Jackson Family Estate and are now living outside of it or the very first time," and explores "the charmed and cursed life" that comes with being a Jackson, "the ultimate name in the world of entertainment," a media release from Reelz says.

The six-part series debuts Nov. 18 and centers around Alejandra Jackson, who was married to Jermaine Jackson, who she had sons Jaafar and Jermajesty with. This was after she'd already had two kids, Randy Jr. and Genevieve, with Jermaine's brother Randy Jackson. 

So, yeah, the real question is how could this not be a reality show. 

The Associated Press has seen a clip from the show, and reports it suggests Alejandra and her childrens' move from the home of grandparents Katherine and Joe Jackson in Encino, Calif. shortly after Michael Jackson's death wasn't their idea.

"We didn't want it to happen that way," Genevieve told reporters at the summer TV critics' tour."We were very sheltered ... There's a lot of outside people coming in and out of our house. We had to watch what we said."
