Overview
- Pamela Anderson told Deadline on Friday that no one from the new Baywatch reached out to her and she has no plans to return to the role that made her famous.
- Anderson said producers held talks with her sons Brandon and Dylan Lee about producing but those discussions did not lead to an agreement.
- Fox and Fremantle have moved the series into production with Matt Nix as showrunner and McG directing the premiere, and the network has slated a January 2027 launch.
- The reboot’s announced cast mixes new leads such as Stephen Amell, Shay Mitchell and Brooks Nader with original cast members who have been spotted filming in Venice, California.
- Anderson is focusing on new, often dramatic projects and stage work after a 2024 career resurgence, a shift that leaves the reboot to define its own direction and casting choices.
