The new show will have 12 episodes, with Matt Nix serving as showrunner and executive producer. The original version of “Baywatch” first premiered in 1989 on American television and ran for 11 seasons.
Broadcast in more than 200 countries, “Baywatch” was for a long time the most-watched series in the world, with over 1 billion viewers.
The show’s cast was led by David Hasselhoff as Mitch Buchannon, the head of the lifeguard team, and introduced a number of stars, including Pamela Anderson and Jason Momoa.
“Fans can look forward to all the adrenaline-filled rescues, complicated relationships, tense chemistry, and beachside heroism that defined the original,” said a Fox statement. “With an entirely new cast, contemporary settings, tensions and challenges, and a renewed mission to protect the Southern California coastline.”
