Billy Corgan’s new unscripted series, Adventures in Carnyland, has released a sneak peek of the show, which will apparently focus on his involvement in wrestling. Smashing Pumpkins co-founder Corgan has been the president of the National Wrestling Alliance since 2017. When he isn’t working with SP, Billy Corgan is a wrestling promoter who owns the storied National Wrestling Alliance, which he intends to restore to its former glory. The show is set to premiere on The CW on May 14 and will consist of eight episodes, during which fans will reportedly “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.”
A previous press release describes the trials and tribulations of Corgan’s life, telling of his role as a father, owning the NWA, and wedding his longtime partner, Chloe. The show will document how he manages to juggle all of his responsibilities as a “rock star navigating the demanding politics of running both a band (Pumpkinworld) and a group of eccentric wrestlers (Carnyland)”.
Furthermore, Smashing Pumpkins is preparing to embark on a UK and Ireland headline tour this summer with Weezer, including a show at The O2 in London. The band will also go on a North American tour in July. Fans can find any remaining tickets for both tours using the links provided publicly. To find out what Billy Corgan can do to manage his dream and responsibilities, viewers must tune into Billy Corgan’s Adventures in Carnyland.
