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.

Alec Baldwin’s reality series, which follows the actor and his family in the lead up to the Rust trial, has been ripped apart by critics. The Baldwins follows Alec, 66, his wife Hilaria, 41, and their seven children as they navigate family life split between their Manhattan apartment and East Hampton summer home.

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.
