TLC is getting a brand new addition as a part of the 2025 TV Schedule, and it’s a giant one! Becoming a member of the ranks of 90 Day Fiancé, My 600-lb Life, and The 7 Little Johnstons is Alec Baldwin and his household. The present was first introduced again in June 2024 with an lovely chaotic video, however now followers of the comedic actor have a concrete date to sit up for because the cable community introduced the present will start airing on Sunday, February twenty third at 1 p.m. It looks as if the Badlwins’ dream of wanting their very own actuality TV present is formally coming true, and as a TLC fanatic, I’m, in fact, going to be tuning in to The Baldwins, however that’s not the one motive I’m excited concerning the new household actuality present.
The primary official trailer was launched on TLC’s official YouTube channel and provides viewers a fast snapshot of what to anticipate when the present hits the air. Hilaria, who as soon as needed to defend her ethnic background, opens it by saying, “Seven youngsters, six animals, two mother and father, wild household,” and I couldn’t consider a greater tagline for the present. The trailer goes on to point out the Baldwin mother and father trying to juggle their household in humorous, chaotic moments whereas additionally pertaining to deeper issues the household has confronted, like Alec’s authorized battle surrounding the dying of Rust cinematographer Haylna Hutchins.
In contrast to most TLC exhibits, which heart on on a regular basis households who might stay unordinary lives (just like the Duggars in 19 Youngsters and Counting), this will probably be one of many community’s first exhibits to focus on a household who’s already conversant in the highlight. In any case, the 30 Rock star has had an extremely profitable profession as an actor that spans a number of many years, landed him a number of award wins and nominations, and even cemented him as a coveted member of SNL’s 5-Timers Membership. In some methods, it looks as if The Baldwins would have been higher suited to Bravo, the place different celebrity-centered actuality exhibits have discovered a house.
As an avid TLC watcher, I’m most to see how the cable community handles a present centered round somebody of Alec Baldwin’s standing. From the trailer, it seems just like the present hopes to be similar to every other household actuality present on the community, diving into numerous parenting and sibling struggles that come up in each household. Nonetheless, given the present facilities on a widely known actor in an much more well-known household, viewers could be anticipating one thing completely different.
Though Alec and Hilaria have stored their seven youngsters largely out of the highlight, there’s nonetheless a layer of celeb that surrounds them due to their father’s standing. The trailer is proof of this, exhibiting a scene the place Hilaria tells her youngsters to disregard the paparazzi trying to take images of them enjoying. That’s one thing that normally isn’t an issue for TLC households till they’ve a few seasons beneath their belt and turn into mini-celebrities in their very own proper.
I believe it’ll be fascinating to see TLC place this well-known household as an peculiar one, similar to the remainder of the households that make up their line-up. I’m additionally curious to see how the present will steadiness the on a regular basis moments the present’s premise guarantees with TLC’s behavior of overdramatizing moments. In a manner, it could be tougher for viewers to catch these overproduced moments, given Alec is an actor, however we’ll have to attend and see. I am going to definitely be crossing my fingers that The Baldwins turns into among the best actuality TV exhibits.
The Baldwins debuts on TLC on Sunday, February twenty third at 10 p.m.
