A sneak peek of Billy Corgan‘s new unscripted series Adventures in Carnyland has just dropped – watch the trailer below.
The Smashing Pumpkins co-founder first announced the news in February, and the show will reportedly focus on his involvement in wrestling. Corgan has served as the president of the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) since 2017.
The eight-episode series, Billy Corgan‘s Adventures In Carnyland, is set to premiere on the CW on May 14 and will let fans “see behind the scenes of SP, Billy’s family and wedding, the NWA and more”.
Speaking about the series, Corgan said: “Rebuilding the historic NWA brand has been both an honor and challenge, and this show opens the doors wide so to speak. To reveal the glory and the grit needed to thrive in a winner-take-all sport. It’s not always pretty, but I’m proud of what we have accomplished thus far.”
Take a look at Billy Corgan’s Adventures in Carnyland below:
A previous press release has revealed about the series: “When he isn’t churning out albums and touring the world with his legendary band The Smashing Pumpkins, Billy Corgan is also a wrestling promoter who owns the 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, Billy is also a father of two AND he’s planning a wedding to his longtime partner, Chloe. Can he possibly keep all these balls in the air? Tune in to Billy Corgan’s Adventures In Carnyland to find out!”
