For Alec Baldwin’s next role, the actor will play himself – in a reality show about his family. The “30 Rock” star and his wife, Hilaria Baldwin, unveiled the first preview of their upcoming TLC series on Instagram on Tuesday, with all seven children in tow.
The video is just under a minute long and begins with the Baldwins introducing themselves while sitting side-by-side on a couch and teasing that “an announcement” will be made. At her husband’s urging, Hilaria Baldwin notes that the news they want to share has nothing to do with the growth of their tribe.
“Absolutely not. We’re done having kids,” she jokes, as the video transitions into a montage of short scenes depicting joyful chaos. Young Baldwin children scream, laugh, run, play and fight, throw themselves on furniture and eventually sit down to pose for various family photos. The scenes appear to have been lifted from a series of home movies.
“We invite you into our home to experience the ups and downs, the good, the bad, the wild and the crazy,” says Alec Baldwin in the teaser. “Home is the place we like to be.”
The video ends with all nine Baldwins trying to sign out together.
“We are the Baldwins, we all have to say it,” Hilaria tells the group. They say it, along with improvised shouts from some of the boys.
“And we’re coming to TLC!” Alec is ready. “God help you all!”
According to the Instagram post, the reality show will air on TLC in 2025. Due to promotional material from the network, the working title of the series became ‘The Baldwins’.

Alec and Hilaria Baldwin married almost 12 years ago, in June 2012. Since then, the couple has welcomed new additions to their family every year, with the youngest now being 20-month-old Ilaria Catalina Irena. They also share María Lucía Victoria, 3, Eduardo Pao Lucas, 3, Romeo Alejandro David, 6, Leonardo Ángel Charles, 7, Rafael Thomas, 8, and Carmen Gabriela, 10.
This week’s look at the Baldwins’ new reality series comes as Alec Baldwin is confronted a charge of involuntary manslaughter in the 2021 death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins while rehearsing on the set of the Western film “Rust” in New Mexico. The case will go to trial this summer, after a New Mexico judge recently dismissed it rejected Baldwin’s request to dismiss the only charge against him. He has repeatedly denied that he was responsible for the shooting that killed Hutchins and injured “Rust” director Joel Souza.
