alex baldwin He will return to the small screen in a whole new way, portraying himself as a father of seven children under the age of 10 with his wife Hilaria Baldwin in a new reality TV series.
The show, tentatively titled “The Baldwins,” will premiere TLC Network “It will release in 2025 and will have everything – ups and downs, the good, the bad, the wildness and the madness,” Alex said in a video shared on Instagram on Tuesday.
While a look at life inside Baldwin’s home won’t premiere for another year, it remains to be seen if cameras will be rolling when the award-winning actor goes on trial for involuntary manslaughter in the fatal shooting of “Rust” cinematographer Helena Hutchins next month in 2021.
Details about Alex and Hilaria’s contracts are unclear, but Brand Expert Eric Schiffer “This is a much-needed financial boost at a time when both of them are deeply drained by the lawsuit,” he exclusively told Fox News Digital.

Baldwin accused two counts — involuntary manslaughter, negligent use of a firearm, or, alternatively, involuntary manslaughter without due care or prudence — on Jan. 19. Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins died on Oct. 21, 2021, when a gun held by Baldwin went off on the set of a Western film.
Jury selection is scheduled to begin July 9, and the trial is expected to last until July 19. If convicted, Baldwin could face up to 18 months in prison.
“This is a much-needed financial aid, at a time when both their pockets are drained significantly due to the lawsuit.”
Schiffer pointed out that Baldwin’s new turn on reality television “could provide an opportunity to shape his public image, even if it doesn’t unfold until 2025.”

“You can show all the behind-the-scenes stuff that he’s been going through, and I think no matter what the outcome is in 2025, it will still serve him and certainly serve his wife,” Schieffer said.

“It depends on what happens — if he’s found innocent, it keeps him in the public eye, and if he’s found innocent, and he’s found guilty, I think it’s still beneficial to him and definitely benefits him. So, overall it’s a smart strategy.”
“You can show all the behind the scenes stuff that he’s been going through and I think no matter what the outcome is in 2025, it will still serve him and certainly serve his wife.”
“From a PR point of view there’s very little harm in participating financially, unless they have a dispute with the producers and there are certain pieces they’re not going to show, but that’s unlikely.”
Alex and Hilaria announced their new venture in a video on Instagram that showed a chaotic scene with several young children running around the house. The couple tried to replicate “We Are the Baldwins” with their seven children, but didn’t have success while taking a family portrait.
“And we’re coming to TLC. God help you all,” Alex said.
