Alec Baldwin Jokes He 'Wasn't Very Fun' on New Reality TV Series: 'Tell Me What to Do'

Alec Baldwin is teasing his family’s upcoming reality show.

On Nov. 11, the actor revealed what fans can expect from the show, which will document his life with his wife Hilaria Baldwin and their seven children. Speaking with the Associated Press at the Spellbound premiere, Alec, 66, even offered a hint about when it would be premiering. 

“Coming out in January, I think,” he revealed.

When asked what it was like to film a show without a script, he joked, “I wasn’t very fun. Tell me what to do!”

Days after The Baldwins was announced in June, a source told PEOPLE that Hilaria, 40, was “excited” to let viewers into her life.

“She can't wait to share more about her family life,” the insider told PEOPLE. “She knows she lives a privileged life, but she still has to juggle and prioritize like many moms.” 

“Family life with all the kids is chaotic. But Hilaria is great at managing everything,” the source added, noting that Hilaria has worked at advocating "for moms getting their ‘me time' too,” and "prioritizing" both "solo time with Alec," as well as "her own health and wellness."

The pair are parents to seven children: Ilaria Catalina Irena, 19 months, María Lucía Victoria, 3, Eduardo "Edu" Pao Lucas, 3, Romeo Alejandro David, 5, Leonardo Ángel Charles, 7, Rafael Thomas, 8, and Carmen Gabriela, 10. Alec also has another daughter, Ireland, 28, who she shares with ex-wife Kim Basinger.

“She'll share her every day tips how to balance life,” the source said of Hilaria. “[She’s] a huge believer that a strong marriage makes everyone happier.”

Despite Alec’s comment about not being “fun,” the source told PEOPLE that the couple is very “fun together” and “watching them together as a team will be a treat.” 

At first, the insider said the 30 Rock alum was skeptical about entering the world of reality because he was “not as comfortable in the spotlight.” He “needed a bit of convincing to do the show” before he agreed, the source explained.

“The best part about them is that they don't fudge the bad — they are very honest about how messy life is, but they see it as a beautiful mess,” they continued. 

PEOPLE first learned of a Baldwin reality show in the works in November when a source shared that Alec and Hilaria were "pitching a family reality show that would give an inside look at their life."

"They're excited but would only do it if it was an authentic portrayal of who they are as a family," the insider told PEOPLE at the time. "The kids all have such fun personalities and Hilaria and Alec know how much interest there is in their lives."

The source also shared that both parents were keen to give viewers "a behind-the-scenes look at raising a big family."
