Baywatch is returning to the small screen. Per Deadline, FOX has ordered a reboot of the classic NBC and first-run syndication series starring David Hasselhoff. The new version of the series was revealed to be in development in April 2023, with FOX expressing interest.
The Baywatch reboot, written by Lara Olsen, will take viewers back to the beach to see “daring ocean rescues, pristine beaches, and iconic red bathing suits” as a whole new generation of lifeguards juggle their professional and personal lives while keeping the California beaches safe.
This reboot will be the second lifeguard series on the network, with Rescue: HI Surf arriving next season.
The premiere date, cast, and additional details for this upcoming FOX series will be announced later. It’s unknown if any of the cast members from the original show’s 11 season run will take part.
What do you think? Did you watch the original Baywatch? Will you watch the reboot of this classic 1990s show?
LOL Yes I followed Baywatchand any ocean/beach related show. I have never surfed LOL but went to the surfing beaches with my surfer highschool boyfriend. No we didn’t live close to the beach butb it was a great escape for someone who was from Portland, Oregon – mostly overcast if it wasn’t raining.
