Brooks Nader stepped out in a black leather corset at FOX's Baywatch: The World's Most-Watched Series Returns panel during the 2026 MIPCOM event in Cannes, France, on October 13. The 29-year-old model's outfit drew immediate comparisons to Pamela Anderson's iconic look in the 1996 film Barb Wire, with Brooks adding her own spin to the edgy ensemble.
Role in the Reboot
Brooks has landed a major role in the upcoming Baywatch series, playing lifeguard captain Selene. She joins a star-studded cast that includes Stephen Amell, Shay Mitchell and Livvy Dunne, as well as Noah Beck and Jessica Belkin.
The new series looks set to embrace the elements that made Baywatch a global phenomenon. A newly released trailer teases the return of the show's famous red swimsuits and signature slow-motion beach runs, alongside dramatic scenes that suggest a blend of sun-soaked glamour and action.
Legacy of the Original
The original Baywatch became one of the world's most recognisable television shows, with its beachside setting, iconic lifeguard uniforms and larger-than-life characters attracting a huge international audience. Pamela Anderson, synonymous with the franchise through her portrayal of lifeguard C.J. Parker, became one of its most memorable stars.
Brooks' latest appearance is sure to draw comparisons with the glamour associated with the original cast as the reboot prepares to make its debut. With its mix of familiar visuals, fresh faces and dramatic storylines, the reboot aims to introduce the iconic beach drama to a new audience while keeping longtime fans entertained.
UK Release
The series is scheduled to arrive on UK screens in January 2027.
