Disney Channel keeping up with Jonases


By Kimberly Nordyke


LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) -
The Disney Channel has
green-lighted a reality series centering on the pop-rock band
the Jonas Brothers.

"Dream" will get up close and personal with the brothers as
they rehearse, travel on the tour bus and perform. It also will
follow them as they interact with their parents and younger
brother, go sky-diving and race go-carts.

The series is set to premiere in the spring in shortform
segments.

The Jonases have a huge following among tween and teen
girls. After the August release of their self-titled sophomore
album, on Disney-owned Hollywood Records, they joined Miley
Cyrus
on her sold-out Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus: Best of
Both Worlds
concert tour, which kicked off in October and ended
in January. The brothers embark on their Burning Up tour this
summer.

In 2007, the Disney Channel green-lighted a scripted series
and an original movie starring the Jonases. A production date
has not yet been set on the scripted series, "J.O.N.A.S.," a
live-action spy comedy. The TV movie, "Camp Rock," which will
feature rock, pop and hip-hop performances, airs in June.
