The upfronts in New York City were in full swing on Monday morning, with Brooks Nader emerging as a standout at the Fox upfronts. The 29-year-old actress, who will star in the upcoming Baywatch reboot, dazzled in a red dress that appeared inspired by the iconic cherry red swimsuit from the original 1990s series. She paired the ensemble with ruby red strappy heels that accentuated her toned and tanned legs.
Baywatch Reboot Details
Nader was joined on stage by Livvy Dunne, Jessica Belkin, Hassie Harrison, and Shay Mitchell. The highly anticipated Baywatch reboot is set on the shores of Los Angeles and features returning stars such as Erika Eleniak and David Chokachi. The modern action-drama follows a new generation of elite lifeguards patrolling Southern California's coastline, focusing on an adult Hobie Buchannon (Stephen Amell), son of original character Mitch, who becomes a captain and confronts the unexpected arrival of his long-lost daughter, Charlie. The 12-episode series is currently in production in Venice Beach and is scheduled to premiere in late January 2027 as part of the 2026-27 midseason lineup.
