Get ready to see a lot more of the Lohans. Filming is set to begin Oct. 30 on the untitled E! reality TV series primarily starring Dina Lohan, and her singer-actress daughter Ali, Dina Lohan tells PEOPLE.
The first shoots will take place in New York City and Long Island, N.Y.
“There are so many misconceptions about me and my family,” says Dina. “I’m setting the record straight.”
The Lohan matriarch, who will serve as the show’s executive producer, tells PEOPLE she wants the show to empower single mothers, by illustrating her own life as a working mom. “It’s about empowering women to be successful single mothers. About being in the limelight without compromising motherhood. It’s about what I do, how you can be successful, and be a single mom and fulfilling your kids’ dreams. Working is my sole source of income.”
And viewers will see the many sides of Dina, who will begin managing other performers’ careers: “It won’t just be following my family around like other shows. It’ll show me cultivating careers, going to soccer practice. I’m a big supporter of domestic violence charities, so they’ll show that. Then they’ll show [my son] Cody at soccer practice. Ali going to school and in the studio. It’ll encompass everything. You’ll see me having five business meetings in the city.”
Most of all, Dina says, “We want it just to be real. It’s okay if it’s not as crazy as the tabloids make it.”
And will Lindsay make a cameo in the show? Says Lohan: “Lindsay is a family member and will lend a helping hand if Ali asks her, when she’s in the recording studio.” —David Caplan
