VH1 has picked up the U.S. reality series "Mob Wives," The Weinstein Co. and Ben Silverman's multimedia studio, Electus, said Thursday.
"Mob Wives" is described by its producers as a reality show based on the lives of four women who have to pick up the pieces and carry on after their husbands or fathers do prison time for organized crime-related activities.
Electus and TWC will serve as co-executive producers on the show.
"As evidenced by his groundbreaking shows such as 'Ugly Betty' and 'The Office,' Ben Silverman is a true innovator in the medium of television whose opinion we greatly respect," TWC's Harvey Weinstein said in a statement. "We are thrilled to partner with him on the first of what we hope will be many TV projects to come."
