The trailer for Alec and Hilaria Baldwin’s reality series has debuted, showcasing their family life and the fallout from the “Rust” shooting.
In the opening moments of the trailer for the show, premiering Feb. 23 on TLC, Hilaria introduces the family, counting off “seven children, six animals, two parents, wild family!”
A montage of typical busy family moments follows, including Baldwin warning two of his kids, “Don’t pee in that pool!”
But the levity halts when an aerial of the set of “Rust” is shown, as Hilaria narrates, “A son lost his mom in the most unthinkable tragedy. This is never something to forget, and we’re trying to parent through it.”

“Honestly, from the bottom of my soul, I don’t know where I’d be if I didn’t have you and these kids,” the actor says. A brief scene also appears to show Baldwin entering a therapist’s office.
