FOX Television Network is diving into shimmering blue coastal waters with greenlight for a reimagined Baywatch, the legendary lifeguard action-drama series that concluded its epic, 11-season run 25 years ago. The revival is a straight-to-series order with 12 episodes in its first season. Sporting signature red swimsuits, an all-new cast of Baywatch lifeguards is set to make waves on FOX's 2026-27 season schedule with Fremantle and FOX Entertainment co-producing this original take on the massively popular global phenomenon.
First hitting screens in 1989, Baywatch became the most-watched show in the world, airing in over 200 countries, and at its peak, reaching more than a billion viewers every week. The unforgettable original series starred heartthrob David Hasselhoff and helped launch the careers of international superstars from Pamela Anderson and Carmen Electra to Jason Momoa and Yasmine Bleeth. The series reboot will celebrate the franchise's enduring legacy, while re-energizing it for today's global audience. Fans can expect all the adrenaline-fueled rescues, tangled relationships, complicated chemistry and beachside heroics that defined the original - now with an entirely new cast, contemporary trappings, tensions and challenges, and a renewed mission to protect Southern California's shoreline.
