Fox has confirmed that Baywatch will premiere during the 2026–2027 television season, consisting of 12 episodes. This revival aims to capture the essence of the original series, which aired from 1989 to 2001 and followed the dramatic lives of lifeguards patrolling Los Angeles beaches.
Harrison's Recent Projects and Upcoming Ventures
Harrison's career has been on a remarkable trajectory. She previously starred as Laramie across three seasons of Yellowstone, where she played the love interest of her real-life husband, Ryan Bingham. More recently, she appeared alongside Jai Courtney in the thriller Dangerous Animals, which debuted at the Cannes Film Festival in 2025.
As reported by Deadline, Harrison has recently wrapped up work on Deep Eddy, a project based in Austin, Texas, focusing on a writer's quest to find his kidnapped girlfriend. Currently, she is filming The Rescue, a Western thriller from Paramount that co-stars Brandon Sklenar.
Looking ahead, Harrison's schedule includes another thriller titled Raven, featuring an impressive cast with Anthony Mackie, Pablo Schreiber, Ben Foster, and Ron Livingston.
The Legacy and Future of Baywatch
The original Baywatch series, starring David Hasselhoff as Mitch Buchanan and Pamela Anderson as C.J. Parker, became a global phenomenon. Despite facing consistent criticism from reviewers, it soared in popularity, becoming the most-watched television show worldwide during its peak. In its final two years, the series was rebranded as Baywatch: Hawaii, introducing future movie star Jason Momoa to its cast.
Michael Thorn, President of Fox Television Network, expressed enthusiasm in a statement to Variety last fall. He remarked, 'In its first run, Baywatch defined an entire era of beach life and elevated lifeguards to an iconic status. Now, with our partners at Fremantle, this television juggernaut is set for a modern-day comeback.'
Thorn added, '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.'
The reboot will center on Hobie Buchannon, who steps into the role of a Baywatch Captain, mirroring his iconic father Mitch. The plot thickens when his daughter Charlie arrives, eager to uphold the family legacy, setting the stage for dynamic new narratives.
