Ever wondered what it's like to be part of a large, famous family? TLC is giving us a peek into the lives of Alec and Hilaria Baldwin and their seven kids with their new reality show, "The Baldwins. " Premiering on February 23, the series promises a mix of challenges, humor, and a candid look at how they handle life in the spotlight. But it's not all fun and games. The show will also dive into the aftermath of the tragic 2021 shooting on the set of "Rust, " where cinematographer Halyna Hutchins lost her life. Hilaria Baldwin talks about the ongoing struggle to navigate this tragedy as a family, saying, "This is never something to forget, and we’re trying to parent through it. " Alec Baldwin, who was involved in the incident, also shares his feelings, confessing to Hilaria, "I don’t know where I’d be if I didn’t have you. "
The season premiere will show the Baldwins celebrating their eldest son Rafael's birthday, and a family summer trip to East Hampton. But there's a cloud hanging over them as Alec faces trial related to the shooting. Despite the emotional complexities, the couple is determined to keep their kids' lives as stable as possible.
In a recent turn of events, Alec Baldwin filed a civil rights suit against officials in Santa Fe, New Mexico, claiming wrongful prosecution for manslaughter in Hutchins' death. The case was dismissed last year after key evidence was not disclosed, and Baldwin was officially cleared in December.
Produced by Terminal B Television, the Baldwins describe the series as "an amazing journey" that offers a glimpse into their family life, both the good and the bad. TLC president Howard Lee adds, "With 'The Baldwins, ' viewers gain an unprecedented look into Alec and Hilaria Baldwin's family journey. " The show promises to blend moments of joy, chaos, and sincerity, offering a genuine portrayal beyond the headlines.
