The Baldwins are coming to your TV screens, and it’s going to be one wild ride.
Alec Baldwin and his yoga-loving, Instagram-famous wife, Hilaria Baldwin, are stepping into the reality TV world with “The Baldwins” on TLC. Think Kardashians meets…a small daycare center run by chaos and questionable life choices.
TLC’s Official Teaser: The Baldwin Madness
Here’s how TLC describes this delightful circus:
“Throughout the season, viewers will see the Baldwins tackle everything from chaotic dinner table antics to heartfelt convos about mental health, all while trying to keep their sanity as parents of SEVEN kids. It’s a hilarious, exhausting, and unexpectedly sweet peek into a family where bedtime routines probably involve riot gear. Oh, and don’t worry, Alec and Hilaria’s relationship gets plenty of screen time as they navigate life’s curveballs — like parenthood, lawsuits, and toddlers eating crayons.”
Basically, this show is a cocktail of family chaos, emotional rollercoasters, and Alec Baldwin sighing dramatically while Hilaria does handstands to cope.
Episode One: Birthdays, Beaches & Big Emotions
The premiere episode kicks things off with a bang. Literally.
– Plotline A: Rafael, the oldest of their seven mini-Baldwins, is turning nine! The family decides to celebrate with a trip to East Hampton, their yearly summer tradition, because what says “parental escape” better than dragging seven kids to a beach where sand and chaos reign supreme?
– Plotline B: Meanwhile, Alec is dealing with some slightly more serious things, like the emotional fallout of a trial tied to the Rust tragedy. Somehow, the man manages to balance courtroom drama and cake-cutting — multitasking level 100.
And, of course, there’s the Rust tragedy hovering over the family. Alec, famously (or infamously) involved in the accidental on-set shooting that tragically took the life of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, faces the challenge of addressing this on the show. In one clip, Hilaria poignantly says:
“A son lost his mom in the most unthinkable tragedy. This is never something to forget… and we’re trying to parent through it.”
It’s a sobering moment amidst the madness, reminding viewers that the Baldwin family isn’t just serving up laughs but also navigating real grief and heavy emotions.
Why This Show Exists
In a joint statement, Alec and Hilaria said:
“This series gives viewers a glimpse into our lives as a family — the good, the bad, the wild, and the ‘Why is there peanut butter on the ceiling again?’ moments. We hope people connect with our story because, at the end of the day, we’re just like you… if you had seven kids, paparazzi, and a scandalous Google search history.”
Drama Beyond the Screen
Because this wouldn’t be a Baldwin project without some off-screen fireworks, Alec has recently filed a lawsuit against Santa Fe prosecutors in connection to his Rust case. So, while the cameras may capture him sharing tender dad moments, real life is serving him a hefty dose of courtroom drama.

The Baldwins premieres Sunday, February 23, at 10 p.m. ET on TLC. Whether you tune in to laugh, cry, or just watch Alec Baldwin try not to lose it while stepping on LEGO pieces, this show promises to be anything but boring.
