Overview
- A multi‑territory licensing deal announced Tuesday, August 4, 2026, and brokered by Fremantle gives Amazon Prime Video rights to stream the new Baywatch reboot outside the U.S.
- Prime’s deal covers much of Europe (including Italy, Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, Benelux, Switzerland, Austria and Turkey) as well as Canada, Latin America and India.
- The agreement includes the complete Baywatch back catalogue for those territories, specifically including Baywatch Hawaii and excluding the two seasons of the spin‑off Baywatch Nights.
- Fox will premiere the 12‑episode first season in the U.S. in January 2027, Sky holds U.K. and Ireland rights, and Prime Video will stream the series in its territories later in 2027 under staggered windows.
- The reboot is led by Stephen Amell with showrunner Matt Nix and McG directing the premiere, and it features returning original cast members as guest stars, a mix intended to court both legacy fans and new viewers.
