VH1 is resuscitating Behind the Music.

The celebreality network has ordered ten new episodes of its former signature series, which will return to the air later this year, bringing back the iconic documentary program that ran on VH1 for seven years starting in 1997.

Billboard charttoppers Lil Wayne and Scott Weiland have already signed on to participate on the revamped series.

The show’s format looks into the early lives of modern day music stars, focusing on the rise to fame, as well as their professional and personal struggles. Friends and family are interviewed in the show to give greater insight. VH1 will update the riginal format for 2009, but not much, producers say.

“It felt like the time is right,” says Jeff Olde, VH1 executive vice president original programing. “There’s all sorts of new artists on the scene who have emerged and have these great stories. And there’s other artists that we always wanted to do the first time around.”

The show ran regular shows from 1997 to 2002, then cut broadcasting back until it was completely scrapped in 2006.
