'The Jacksons: Next Generation' docu-series to premiere

The docu-series The Jacksons: Next Generation is to premiere on Lifetime Oct. 2.

The reality show focuses on Taj, Taryll and TJ -- Tito Jackson's sons and the nephews of Tito's fellow members of the famed, fraternal music group Jackson 5, which included the late Michael Jackson when he was a child. Pop-music icon Janet Jackson is Tito's sister.

A news release announcing the program says it "features the brothers as they work to balance a career and their lives as traditional family men while living up to the pressures and demands that comes with their last name.

"The siblings, known as the music group 3T, have toured and sold more than 3 million records worldwide just off their debut album. Still impacted by the loss of their mother, Dee Dee, the brothers are raising their children and managing the day-to-day tasks within their families, just like everyone else. Their quest for normalcy, however, often collides head-on with the good and bad of living with one of history's most renowned last names. The series reveals what it's like for them living with the last name Jackson including how they deal with constant rumors, stalkers, and frauds who all want a piece of anything and anyone related to the family's legacy."
