Alec Baldwin’s TLC Reality Show Got A Release Date And There’s At Least One Reason I’ll Definitely Be Checking This One Out

by

In 2025, TLC is expanding its lineup with a major addition – get ready for “The Baldwins”! Known for hit shows like “90 Day Fiancé, My 600-lb Life, and The 7 Little Johnstons“, the cable network is welcoming Alec Baldwin and his family into its ranks. The show was initially announced in June 2024 with a charmingly chaotic video teaser, and now fans of the talented actor have a definite date to mark on their calendars. The series will debut on Sunday, February 23rd at 1 p.m. It appears that the Baldwins’ long-held dream of having their own reality TV show is finally becoming a reality! As a dedicated TLC viewer, I can’t wait to tune in to “The Baldwins”, but there’s more than just my enthusiasm for Alec that has me excited about this new family reality show.

The debut trailer for the show was unveiled on TLC’s official YouTube page, offering a brief glimpse into what viewers can anticipate when it premieres. In the opening scene, Hilaria, who has previously addressed questions about her ethnicity, says, “Seven kids, six pets, two parents, crazy family,” which perfectly sums up the show in my opinion. The trailer then showcases the Baldwin parents navigating their family life with humor and chaos, while also hinting at some of the more serious challenges they’ve experienced, such as Alec’s legal struggles related to the death of cinematographer Haylna Hutchins on the set of Rust.

Unlike typical TLC series focusing on ordinary families with unusual lives (such as the Duggars in “19 Kids and Counting”), this upcoming show will revolve around a family who are already accustomed to the limelight. Given that the star of “30 Rock” has had an illustrious acting career spanning decades, accumulated multiple awards and nominations, and became a valued member of Saturday Night Live’s Five-Timers Club, it appears that the Baldwins might have fit better on Bravo, where other celebrity-centric reality shows have thrived.

As a dedicated fan of TLC, I’m eager to observe how the cable network approaches a series featuring someone of Alec Baldwin’s prominence. Judging from the preview, it appears the show aims to mirror typical family reality shows on TLC, delving into the parenting and sibling disputes that are common in all families. However, since the show revolves around a renowned actor within an extremely famous family, spectators might anticipate something unique or unconventional.

Despite Alec and Hilaria’s efforts to keep their seven children away from the public eye, their family remains associated with celebrity status due to Alec’s prominence. This is evident in a trailer where Hilaria instructs her kids to disregard photographers trying to snap pictures of them playing – an issue that typically doesn’t affect TLC families until they reach a certain level of fame and recognition.

It seems intriguing to observe how TLC portrays this famous family as ordinary, similar to other families in their lineup. I’m eager to find out how they manage to strike a balance between the everyday scenes the show promises and TLC’s tendency to amplify dramatic moments. It could potentially be more difficult for viewers to spot these overproduced scenes since Alec is an actor, but we’ll have to wait and see. Fingers crossed that The Baldwins becomes one of the top reality TV shows!

The Baldwins debuts on TLC on Sunday, February 23rd at 10 p.m.
