We already knew news of Billy Corgan developing an unscripted series for The CW, and now the show’s title and debut date have been revealed.

Billy Corgan’s Adventures in Carnyland will premiere on May 14 for The CW app. The first season delivers eight episodes exploring Corgan’s journey as a musician and owner of the National Wrestling Alliance. There’s also wedding drama in the mix.

Deadline reported the news with a description of what to expect for the theme of the program.

The series pulls back the curtain on how the legendary frontman of alternative rock band The Smashing Pumpkins takes on the world. When he isn’t churning out albums and touring the world with his band, Corgan works as a wrestling promoter through his storied National Wrestling Alliance, which he intends to restore to its former glory. As if being a rock star navigating the demanding politics of running both a band (Pumpkinworld) and a group of eccentric wrestlers (Carnyland) isn’t tricky enough, he’s also a father of two — and he’s planning a wedding to his longtime partner, Chloe Mendel. Can he possibly keep all these balls in the air? Tune in to find out.

Will you be tuning in to Billy Corgan’s Adventures in Carnyland? Do you think one of those balls in the air is an 8 ball?
