Overview
- Photos and set reports show Michael Bergin, David Chokachi and Kelly Packard back on Venice Beach in scenes that appear to reprise their original Baywatch roles, with fans reacting positively to the reunion.
- The cast reunion was filmed on Wednesday, May 27, and included the trio carrying surfboards, taking selfies and doing push-ups on the sand, according to multiple set reports.
- The reboot centers on Stephen Amell’s Hobie Buchannon and an official synopsis says Hobie’s life is upended when a daughter he never knew seeks to join Baywatch as a lifeguard.
- Fox has released a nostalgia-leaning teaser — reposted by Amell with the caption “I dream in slow motion” — and network executives have framed the series as a high priority for a planned January 2027 launch.
- The production mixes legacy returns with new faces (including Jessica Belkin, Livvy Dunne and Brooks Nader), retools characters such as Cody Madison as a mentor who runs a beachside bar, and one outlet has reported a 12-episode order that has not been independently confirmed.
