Mark and Donnie Wahlberg will star and executive produce an A&E reality TV show about their family and restaurant, Wahlburgers.
ET Online reported that Donnie announced the news on the Monday night episode of The Arsenio Hall Show.
Wahlburgers is located just outside of Boston. Their mom and brother Paul, run the restaurant, while the brothers co-own. The show will be named off their restaurant, which itself came from childhood teasing.
"They called us that as kids. They used to tease me." Donnie said. "They'd say 'Hey Wahlburger.' [That is] if they weren't calling me junior jailbird 'cause my older brothers being inmates all the time."
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Wahlburgers will be a behind-the-scenes show of the family as they run their restaurant.
The restaurant, of which a second location will open in 2014 in Toronto, is also known to be a hangout for their friends and family.
A&E Network Executive VP and General Manager David McKillop said, "We're thrilled to partner with the entire Wahlberg family as they graciously lift the curtain to share this new side of their story." He added, "This series offers viewers a new take on the celebrity reality series showcasing one of America's favorite families."
The New Kids on the Block member also said on Arsenio Hall, "Mark and I, my mom, my brother Paul - we're all gonna be in the show. It's going to be a lot of fun."
