    “Baywatch” Reboot Coming to FOX in 2026

    There are programs in the history of television that leave you asking, “How the hell did that air for so long?” That’s not a question you can ask of “Baywatch.” Despite the show’s lack of Emmys, everyone knew why the show was successful. Thanks to all those beach bodies, the careers of several actors and actresses were cemented in pop culture; including Oscar nominee Pamela Anderson, and one of Germany’s favorite singers, David Hasselhoff. “Baywatch” remains one of those properties that still has a legacy attached to it, and next year, Fox is seeking to tap into that as it brings a rebooted version of the show to its Fall 2026 schedule.

    “Baywatch” ran for 11 seasons starting in 1989 and portrayed the life-saving escapades of lifeguards in Los Angeles. It glamorized and sensationalized the profession to the point of absurdity, which admittedly is part of its charm. That and the swimsuit clad characters. If you didn’t have Cinemax growing up, it was the closest you were getting to soft-core adult entertainment. What was risque back then though is relatively tame by today’s standards though, so it’ll be interesting to see what Fox does with the 12-episode order its placed for the rebooted series.

    Right now there are no confirmed cast members, but we do know a bit about who will be working on bringing the show to the air. Most notable is Matt Nix, who previously created the hit USA show, “Burn Notice.” While that program focused on the tribulations of a former CIA operative as opposed to life guards, it still had a lot of beach shots thanks to being set in Miami. Nix has the potential to downplay the sexual overtones of the original series and play up the drama and intrigue given how well his previous work managed to do that.

    “Together, Fox and Fremantle, along with Matt Nix and original co-creator Greg Bonann, will bring the California dream to a whole new generation of fans with fresh stories, rising stars and all the spectacle that make the Baywatch franchise a global sensation,” Michael Thorn, President of Fox Television stated.

    Lofty goals considering that “Baywatch” was a show that was very much of its time, Not to mention there was the 2017, self-parody adaptation that did okay for itself, but didn’t exactly bring the franchise roaring back into the mainstream.

    We will update you with casting news as its revealed over the upcoming months. More importantly though, it does give the author an excuse to talk briefly about “Baywatch Nights.” This show represents the most amazingly ridiculous pivot in the history of syndicated television. The first season was all about Hasselhoff’s character of Mitch deciding to moonlight as a private detective. The first season was not very well received, resulting in the show deciding to mix things up by having the second season have him and Angie Harmon investigate paranormal cases. We’re talking witches, ghosts, a frozen viking, and so much more. And mind you, it”s considered canon to “Baywatch,” in general, so these things all happen in the same continuity. Now that’s the show that needs to get the reboot treatment.
