Alec Baldwin could be seen breaking down in tears over the fatal Rust shooting in a sneak peek of his new reality show.
A few years back in 2021, the 66-year-old actor discharged a prop gun on the set of the Western movie Rust in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
The incident killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, 42, and injured director Joel Souza, 51.
Baldwin maintained he did not pull the trigger.

It's been over three years since Hutchins' tragic passing and, while Baldwin was initially charged with involuntary manslaughter and the case later dismissed, the father-of-eight clearly hasn't forgotten about her.
A new trailer for their family reality TV show, titled The Baldwins, sees both Baldwin and his wife, Hilaria, acknowledge the incident.
"A son lost his mum in the most unthinkable tragedy. This is never something to forget and we’re trying to parent through it," Hilaria says before her husband replies: "Honestly, from the bottom of my soul, I don’t know where I’d be if I didn’t have you and these kids."
Check out the official trailer for The Baldwins here:
"Seven children, six animals, and two parents... wild family," Hilaria says at the beginning of the clip.
The series is set to feature the Baldwin's kids - including Ilaria Catalina Irena, María Lucía Victoria, Eduardo 'Edu' Pao Lucas, Romeo Alejandro David, Leonardo Ángel Charles, Rafael Thomas, and Carmen Gabriela.
It's currently not clear if Baldwin's eldest, 29-year-old Ireland, who he hares with ex-wife Kim Basinger, will also appear in the series.
Nearing the end of the teaser, Hilaria says: "We’ve had our bad moments, but we found our foundation. We’re solid and we’re here together."
Sharing the premise of the upcoming programme, the parents explained in a statement: "This series gives viewers a glimpse into our lives as a family - the good, bad, wild and everything in between. We hope viewers will connect with our experiences and the love we share.
"Filming the show has been an amazing journey, and we’re proud to have TLC as a partner in telling our story."
Howard Lee, president of TLC, also said in the release: "TLC has always been a platform for compelling stories. With The Baldwins, viewers gain an unprecedented look into Alec and Hilaria Baldwin’s family journey.
"As they navigate parenthood, marriage and life under the spotlight, the series blends moments of joy, chaos and sincerity offering a genuine portrayal beyond the headlines."
The Baldwins premieres on TLC next month (23 February).
