Mark & Donnie Wahlberg to star in A&E reality show about original, real-life 'Entourage' & family restaurant 'Wahlburgers'

Mark and Donnie Wahlberg have just signed on for an unscripted reality television series on A&E entitled Wahlburgers. The reality show will focus on the brother's family restaurant, which has the same name as the series, as they return to Boston to help brother and executive chef Paul out with the business. The original gang of friends that the HBO series Entourage was based on will also be involved! 

"We're thrilled to partner with the entire Wahlberg family as they graciously lift the curtain to share this new side of their story," said David McKillop, the executive vice president and general manager of A&E Network. "This series offers viewers a new take on the celebrity reality series showcasing one of America's favorite families."

Donnie appeared on The Arsenio Hall show earlier this week and spoke a bit about the project.

"It's going to be a lot of fun," he said about Wahlburgers.

This new reality show will give us a behind-the-scenes look at the Wahlberg family and business. We'll meet the whole family including mother Alma and some orginal "Entourage" members like Johnny "Drama" Alves, Henry "Nacho" Laun and Billy Leonard. Perhaps more nicknames will develop as the series progresses!

Wahlburgers is set to premiere on January 22, 2014, at 10:30 p.m. on A&E with Mark and Donnie both producing along with Stephen Levinson.
