LOS ANGELES , California ( CNN ) -- The A & E network quickly backed away from an earlier assurance that Michael Jackson 's three children `` are not part of '' a reality show it is taping with four of the pop star 's brothers . Before their father 's death , Michael Jackson 's children , Paris , Prince and `` Blanket '' were not often seen in public . The network said late Wednesday it was `` entirely possible '' that `` other members of the Jackson family '' could appear on the show , but it is too soon to know . US Weekly magazine quoted an unidentified source as saying that despite a sharp division in the Jackson family over the matter , Prince , 12 , Paris , 11 , and Blanket , 7 , would be included in the show . `` The Jacksons : A Family Dynasty , '' which focuses on the lives of four of the Jackson brothers -- Jackie , Jermaine , Tito and Marlon -- was in the works before the singer 's June 25 death . `` Filming is taking place right now , '' A & E said in the late Wednesday statement . `` As production moves forward , it is entirely possible that the brothers ' paths will intersect with other members of the Jackson family , who may or may not be included in the finished series . However , we can not at this point definitively know who else may make an appearance in the series . '' Earlier Wednesday , however , the network had seemed to rule out their appearance , saying , `` They are not part of the series . '' Jackson went to great lengths for years to keep his children out of the public eye , including covering their faces with masks and scarves . It was only at the public memorial service for Jackson that the world got a close look at them -- and began learning about their personalities . The magazine 's source is quoted as saying that the oldest Jackson sister , Rebbie , `` feels Michael would spin in his grave if he knew his kids would be on this show . '' The public relations firm hired by the Jackson family soon after Michael Jackson 's death issued a short statement Wednesday morning that did not dispute the US Weekly report . `` We are not going to comment , '' the statement said . The decision would be left to Katherine Jackson , Michael 's mother , according to the lawyer appointed in August to represent the children in the probate of their father 's will . Katherine Jackson was given guardianship over the children by a Los Angeles judge . The reality show is tentatively set to begin airing in December . CNN 's Marc Balinsky contributed to this report .
