Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins‘ new reality series, Billy Corgan’s Adventures in Carnyland, is now streaming on cwtv.com and the CW app. If you’re not sure if you’re ready to commit to eight episodes of Billy’s life as NWA president and bandleader, you can also watch the trailer (where he admits “no one in my life cares about professional wrestling”) below.
Here’s the series synopsis:
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!
Billy begins a lengthy Smashing Pumpkins tour in June, and the band recently announced they chose a new guitarist from over 10,000 submissions, Kiki Wong. See all of their upcoming shows below.
