The series begins just before he was scheduled to stand trial in the fatal shooting on the set of “Rust.” The reviews have been somewhat uneasy.

According to the show’s official synopsis, “The Balwins” is “an intimate, behind-the-scenes look into the lives of Alec and Hilaria Baldwin and their seven children. This series blends the highs and lows of family life, with the challenges and humor that come while raising a large family in the public eye.”

The actor, who was a cast member and producer on the project, pleaded not guilty to an involuntary manslaughter charge in February 2024, and the trial came to a sudden close after four days last July. The case was dismissed after it became clear that police and prosecutors may have withheld evidence during the presentation of their case.
