Jonas Brother show on Disney Channel to be written by "Wire" creator David Simon
Musicians/hearththrobs the Jonas Brothers keep our hearts-a-beating on CDs, in concert, and on "Camp Rock," but now the brown haired-trio have told Ryan Seacrest on KISS-FM that they start production in seven weeks for their new show on the Disney Channel.
Dying for all the deets, huh? Well we've got 'em. Dateline Hollywood has exclusively uncovered the writer working with the Jonas Brothers on their new show: it's David Simon, creator of the acclaimed HBO drama "The Wire," which was beloved by critics for its portrayal of Baltimore in decline and the institutions, from the police to the schools to the media, that were failing it.
Simon tells Dateline Hollywood that he is hoping to bring the same gritty realism to his new show "Jonas."
"Joe, Nick and Kevin will be recurring characters, but each season will focus on a different part of the media-Hollywood star industry that supports them, such as a tween-focused cable channel, publicists, stylists, online paparazzi, and, ultimately, their ten year-old female fans," he explained. "I expect 'Jonas' to make Disney Channel viewers think about the Dickensian despair behind the lives of teen pop stars, mixed in with musical montages of the boys signing autographs and rescuing adorable kittens."
