Just weeks after Michael Jackson’s death, the music legend’s brothers may have their own reality show on A&E.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the network had authorized a one-hour special following Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon and Randy as a “backdoor pilot” for a potential series. The project began months ago, and producers already have footage from following the Jackson family members around as they prepare for a new album and reunion tour.

A&E wanted to air the program, tentatively titled “The Jackson Family,” next year. But, given Michael’s recent death and the current turmoil within the family, the network now has to decide whether to proceed.  MTV notes that producers have not shot any additional footage since Michael’s death on June 25.

Twitter users have mostly negative thoughts about the reality show possibility:

   DaynaRoselli I don’t think a Jackson family reality show is necessary. But, I think I’d watch. I’m a sucker for reality shows.
