As The Smashing Pumpkins continue their search for a new guitar player, frontman Billy Corgan has announced a new reality show focused not on his musical side, but his ownership of the National Wrestling Alliance.
Premiering May 14 on the CW app and website, Corgan’s upcoming, eight-episode unscripted series Adventures in Carnyland will take viewers behind the scenes of the Chicago native's home life with soon-to-be-wife Chloe Mendel and their two children, showing how he also manages to balance rocking the road with the Pumpkins and his new job as owner of the wrestling company he purchased in 2017.
“Rebuilding the historic NWA brand has been both an honor and challenge, and this show opens the doors wide so to speak,” Corgan said of the series in a statement. “To reveal the glory and the grit needed to thrive in a winner-take-all sport. It’s not always pretty, but I’m proud of what we have accomplished thus far.”
Mendel adds, “I’m thrilled to share an inside look into our family’s wild life through the world of wrestling and rock n roll.”
Billy Corgan’s Adventures in Carnyland is produced by the Nacelle Company (The Movies That Made Us, Disney’s Behind the Attraction, Icons Unearthed) and is directed by Brian Volk-Weis and Ian Roumain. “Getting to work with Chloe and Billy has been one of the highlights of my career," says Volk-Weis, "and I will be eternally grateful for letting us into their lives and businesses (which I know the world will enjoy watching).”
