- The new cast is posting behind-the-scenes photos on their social media accounts.

Sun, surf, and slow-motion saves are on the way as Baywatch returns. Fox’s reboot is now in production ahead of its 12-episode run for the 2026-2027 season, and behind-the-scenes photos of the star-studded cast in full lifeguard gear are surfacing on social media.
The upcoming series is a reimagining of the original ’90s hit, which aired for 11 seasons from 1989 to 2001. It follows Hobie Buchannon (Stephen Amell, originally played by Jeremy Jackson) as he takes on the role of Baywatch captain after his legendary father, Mitch Buchannon (David Hasselhoff).
A new generation of lifeguards will join Buchannon in keeping watch over the Los Angeles coastline, including Jessica Belkin, who will portray Hobie’s daughter, Charlie Vale.
Amell shared a humorous post featuring a clapperboard from the first episode of the revival series, captioned, “Wait… you’re a lifeguard…?”
