Barry King/FilmMagic Clint and Dina Eastwood. The star's wife, who manages a singing group, will be the central figure in 'Mrs. Eastwood & Company.'
Clint Eastwood's family is set to star in the upcoming reality show called "Mrs. Eastwood & Company."
The legendary Tinseltown actor and director, 81, will only make occasional guest appearances on the show, according to E! News, with the show focusing primarily on his wife, Dina Eastwood, and two daughters, Francesca, 18, and Morgan, 15.
Francesca's birth mother is actress Frances Fisher, but she also calls Dina "Mom."
"Nothing is more important to me than family â€" no matter how you define that," Dina said in a statement.
The show, to air on E!, follows the family in their daily lives, but also showcases Dina's most recent project, managing a six-man acappella group called Overtone.
"I found them when Clint was filming 'Invictus,'" Dina told E! of discovering the band in their native South Africa. "I flipped out for them. I said, 'I'm moving them over here.'
"From the day they got off the plane, everyone said, 'This has to be a show.'"
Not that the show will be full of "slapping or fighting," Dina explained. Rather, there will be plenty of shenanigans as the young men acclimate to the States and she reigns over the household with an "unconventional approach."
According to Dina, Overtone had only been in America for three days when one member accidentally crashed Clint's brand-new Mercedes into a grocery store.
Dina is well aware of the reactions such a show might have with fans of the filmmaker, however.
"I know my limitations with Clint, so I don't push him too hard," she told E! News.
The 10-episode series is set to debut on E! on May 20.
