Ten years ago, Alec Baldwin told us that he was quitting public life. The news ran as a 2014 New York Magazine cover story with a photo of the actor’s face beside the quote, “I give up.” But as it turns out, a lot can change after a decade (and an involuntary manslaughter charge). Today, Alec announced in an Instagram video that he and his wife, Hilaria/Hillary, will star in a TLC reality series about life with their “seven growing children,” whose ages range from 19 months to 10 years old. “We’re inviting you into our home to experience the ups and downs, the good, the bad, the wild and the crazy,” Alec said over footage of his children running around and screaming. “Home is the place we love to be the most.” The show is set to release in 2025, and its working title is The Baldwins. We guess TLC didn’t want to go with the nickname that Hilaria, a Massachussetts native who has been criticized for implying she has Spanish heritage, uses for her kids: the “Baldwinitos.”
This announcement comes ahead of Alec’s July trial for involuntary manslaughter, which he has pleaded not guilty to, over the fatal on-set shooting of Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins in 2021. His legal team has accused prosecutors of an abuse of power and placed the blame on armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, who has already been convicted of involuntary manslaughter and sentenced to 18 months in prison for the tragedy. With trial preparations underway, it’s not clear when filming of The Baldwins will start, or if it already has. Will we have to see Hilaria explaining to the kiddos that Daddy can’t be on cameras with them today because he’ll be in court?
