Baywatch is getting a 21st century TV reboot and following the 2017 movie.
This series is set to air on Fox in the US and has the same producers as the original Baywatch, which was one of the most watched shows in the world during the late 80s and 90s. The show helped skyrocket the careers of famous faces including Pamela Anderson, David Hasselhoff, Donna D’Errico and Carmen Electra.

Baywatch followed a series of sexy young lifeguards as they navigated their personal lives and careers helping holiday-makers in need. The reboot’s official description says: “Daring ocean rescues, pristine beaches and iconic red bathing suits are back, along with a whole new generation of Baywatch lifeguards who navigate complicated, messy personal lives in this action-packed reboot that demonstrates there’s the family you’re born into, and the family you find.”

It is unclear whether series favourites Pamela Anderson or David Hasselhoff will be returning to reprise their roles on the small screen. The original series was a huge success and at one point, the show aired in over 145 countries.
In 2017, Baywatch was released as a feature film starring Dwayne The Rock Johnson, Zac Efron, Priyanka Chopra and Kelly Rohrbach. It grossed a whopping $178 million across the world and featured cameo appearances from David Hasselhoff and Pamela Anderson.

The pair’s roles in the Hollywood blockbuster may hint that the pair could be up for appearing in the planned reboot, although nothing has been confirmed by either party. After her role as Casey Jean Parker, Pamela went on to become a pop culture icon and A-list celebrity.

She famously married Mötley Crü star Tommy Lee and their sex tape scandal in 1996 rocked Hollywood. The pair’s tumultuous relationship was recently portrayed in the 2022 series Pam & Tommy, featuring Lily James, Sebastian Stan and Seth Rogan.
Anderson also released a memoir back in January 2023 titled Love, Pamela, which helped the star “take control of her own narrative” which “alternates between storytelling and her own poetry”.
