The indictment by a New Mexico grand jury reinstates a criminal case against the actor months after the previous charges were dropped.
It follows an independent forensic test concluding that Baldwin would have had to pull the trigger of a revolver he was using in a rehearsal for it to fire the live rounds that killed Hutchins.
The finding was the same as a previous FBI test on the firearm.
Baldwin has denied pulling the trigger and said he was not responsible for Hutchins' death in the Oct. 2021 shooting on the New Mexico movie set that also injured the film's director, Joel Souza.
Prosecutors previously dismissed charges against Baldwin based on evidence the hammer of the revolver might have been modified, allowing it to fire without the trigger being pulled.
The movie's chief armorer, Hannah Gutierrez, was also charged with involuntary manslaughter. She faces a 2024 trial.
If the case goes to court, it will be up to a jury to decide whether Baldwin could be found guilty of involuntary manslaughter under either of two alternative legal definitions: "negligent use of a firearm" and by acting "without due caution or circumspection."
Involuntary manslaughter is classified in New Mexico as a fourth-degree felony punishable by up to 18 months in prison.
