Some of Michael Jackson's extended family members are getting a reality show this fall on Reelz, the network announced.

Living with the Jacksons, a six-episode series, will follow Alejandra Jackson, the ex-wife of Michael's brother Jermaine Jackson, and her five children. Alejandra and her children left "the Jackson bubble" when they were forced to move out of the Jackson family home in Encino, Calif., after Michael's death five years ago.

Alejandra has two children with Michael's brother Randy Jackson, but later married Jermaine Jackson and had two more children. She's also raised son Donte Jackson, who was adopted by Michael's parents Katherine and Joe.

Her son Randy Jr. says the reality show will give the family an opportunity to tell their side of the story. "People already had a preconceived judgment of us and we weren't speaking," Randy told the Associated Press. "Now we feel comfortable enough to show how we really are."

Living with the Jacksons premieres Tuesday, Nov. 18 at 8/7c on Reelz.
