Baywatch is making a comeback!
The lifeguard drama is returning with a new Fox reboot, nearly 40 years after the original series debuted on NBC.
Here’s a synopsis, via Variety: “The wild child Hobie Buchannon we all loved from the original series is now a Baywatch captain, following in the footsteps of his legendary father, Mitch. Hobie’s world is turned upside down when Charlie, the daughter he never knew, shows up on his doorstep, eager to carry on the Buchannon family legacy and become a Baywatch lifeguard alongside her dad. OG heartthrob Cody Madison now runs The Shoreline, the unofficially official Baywatch bar-and-grill, and still puts on the red trunks for the occasional shift saving lives. He’s a mentor to and a friend, providing a second home for his fellow lifeguards… and always offering free wings after a big save.”
Matt Nix will serve as showrunner and executive producer, and McG will direct the first episode.
The series is set to debut during the 2026-2027 season on Fox, following a 12-episode order back in September 2025.
As production gets underway on the upcoming series, we’re taking a look at every person who has been announced to star in the television show.
