Alec Baldwin and Hilaria Baldwin take family drama and fame from the tabloids to television.
TLC on Tuesday announced a reality show starring one of Hollywood’s most controversial couples and their seven children together, which the network said will feature “nonstop love, laughter and drama” in a press release.
“The Baldwins,” scheduled to premiere in 2025, will follow the family as they “invite viewers into the home they share with their seven children,” the network said.
The show’s announcement comes after Alec Baldwin, 66, was again charged with manslaughter in the Jan. 19 death of “Rust” cinematographer Halena Hutchins, after prosecutors in New Mexico dropped the charges a year ago. His trial is scheduled to begin this summer.
‘It should have been clearer:’ Hilaria Baldwin apologizes for Hispanic heritage scandal
Baldwin has long made headlines and been criticized for her questionable behavior.
During the pandemic, Hilaria Baldwin sparked backlash with her Hispanic heritage scandal after allegations surfaced that she misrepresented her cultural identity. Social media posts showed Baldwin speaking with various accents while tweets claimed she once went by the name Hillary.
In December 2020, the backlash first began when the 40-year-old came under fire for allegedly faking her Spanish accent and misrepresenting her upbringing. But in February 2021, she apologized, saying she had spent time “listening, reflecting and asking myself how I can learn and grow.”

Alec Baldwin is also father to Irish model Baldwin, his only daughter with ex-wife Kim Basinger, but it doesn’t look like she will be part of the show.
