Alec Baldwin and Hilaria Baldwin are taking their family drama and fame from the tabloids to TV.
On Tuesday, TLC announced a reality show starring one of Hollywood’s most controversial couples and their seven children together, which the network said will feature “non-stop love, laughter and drama” in a press release.
“The Baldwins,” set to air in 2025, will follow the family as they “invite viewers into the home they share with their seven growing kids,” the network said.
The show announcement comes after Alec Baldwin, 66, was charged again with involuntary manslaughter on Jan. 19 in the death of “Rust” movie cinematographer Halyna Hutchins’ after New Mexico prosecutors dropped the charges a year earlier. His trial is set to begin this summer.
‘I should have been more clear:’ Hilaria Baldwin apologizes for Spanish heritage scandal
Both Baldwins have long made headlines and courted criticism for questionable behavior.
During the pandemic, Hilaria Baldwin fueled backlash with a Spanish heritage scandal after allegations arose that she had misrepresented her cultural identity. Social media posts showed Baldwin speaking with different accents while tweets claimed she once went by the name Hillary.
In December 2020, the backlash first started 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.”

Although she said she was raised with both American and Spanish cultures and feels “a true sense of belonging to both,” Baldwin added that “the way I’ve spoken about myself and my deep connection to two cultures could have been better explained.” Later, in July 2021, she addressed the scandal again and called herself “multi” cultured and “fluid.“
Alec Baldwin is also a dad to model Ireland Baldwin, his only daughter with ex-wife Kim Basinger, but it does not appear that she will be a part of the show. In 2007, Baldwin went viral for a 2007 voicemail he left for a then-11-year-old daughter Ireland Baldwin, now 28, where he called her a “rude, thoughtless little pig.”
