In addition to Snider, Growing Up Twisted's cast will also include his wife Suzette, a clothing designer and makeup artist, as well as their four children -- Jesse, a 27-year-old aspiring rock musician, husband and father; Shane, a 22-year-old resident comic; Cody, a 20-year-old aspiring filmmaker; and Cheyenne, a 13-year-old billed as daddy's little girl.
Snider family highlights featured on the reality series will include a baptism where a song opens up wounds between father and son; a playful sparring match that has devastating consequences; the inappropriate behavior of a local store clerk that brings the Snider men together in a show of solidarity; and a concert where Dee performs with his offspring.
A&E ordered the seven-episode series in April and it is being produced by Evolution Media.
Gene Simmons Family Jewels premiered on A&E in August 2006 and follows the former KISS frontman and his family. It's fifth season premiered earlier this year.
