Alec and Hilaria Baldwin have shared a first look into their life with the release of a trailer for their new reality show – which touches on the fatal Rust shooting.
The couple, who married in 2012 and have seven children, star in The Baldwins, which is due to premiere in February.
“Seven children, six animals, two parents. Wild family,” says Hilaria Baldwin in the teaser.
Baldwin, who also has an older daughter, Ireland Baldwin, with his ex-wife Kim Basinger, is known for films including Beetlejuice, The Hunt For Red October, and Glengarry Glen Ross, as well as the comedy series 30 Rock and appearances playing Donald Trump on Saturday Night Live.
The 66-year-old was accused of involuntary manslaughter following the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of his western film Rust in 2021, but the case was thrown out by the judge mid-way through his trial in July last year.
Earlier this month, the actor filed a lawsuit against prosecutors, alleging they intentionally concealed evidence that would have absolved him from blame and “sought at every turn to scapegoat” him.
In the first trailer for The Baldwins, the star is emotional as he tells his wife: “Honestly, from the bottom of my soul. I don’t know where I would be if I didn’t have you and these kids.”

Ms Hutchins died on the set of Rust after a Colt 45 that Baldwin was holding fired. He maintained he did not pull the trigger. Director Joel Souza was also injured.
Earlier in the clip, Hilaria says of Ms Hutchins’ death: “A son lost his mom in the most unthinkable tragedy. This is never something to forget – and we are trying to parent through it.”
She later adds: “We’ve had bad moments but we’ve found our foundation. We’re solid and we’re here together.”
Following the collapse of Baldwin’s trial, Rust was eventually released in November last year.
The film tells the story of a 13-year-old boy who, left to fend for himself and his younger brother following their parents’ deaths in 1880s Wyoming, goes on the run with his long-estranged grandfather after being sentenced to hang for the accidental killing of a local rancher.

The movie debuted at the Camerimage Festival in Poland, an event focusing on achievements in cinematography, to an audience of a few hundred – a more low-key affair than the typical fanfare of Hollywood releases.
Baldwin did not attend the event, but Souza said before the screening that while it “wasn’t an easy decision by any means” to continue the film after Ms Hutchins’s death, “it became important to me and important to her husband that people see her final work”.
Rust’s weapons supervisor Hannah Gutierrez-Reed received the maximum sentence of 18 months in prison after being convicted of involuntary manslaughter in April.
She has filed an appeal against her conviction.
