Fans will soon be able to channel into the lives of British boy band 'The Wanted' members on 'The Wanted Life' reality show. The show is expected to get up close and personal with each of the five members: Max, Tom, Jay, Siva and Nathan.

The first series will take place in Los Angeles, where the band members reside together in a huge mansion while [recording their new album](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bandlab-x-d4vd). As all [housemate reality shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-slc-scoop), the Wanted Life is expected to showcase wild parties and dramatic conflicts.

Nathan states in the show's trailer: "I think everyone's dream is to travel the world, have loads of fans and play amazing gigs like we do. At the moment we're living the dream." It seems like narcissism will also play a big role in the TV series.

The show will air on June 2nd.
