FOX is bringing Baywatch back to television, ordering a straight-to-series 12-episode revival for the 2026-27 season.

The new version of the iconic lifeguard drama comes 25 years after the original wrapped its 11-season run.

Produced by Fremantle and FOX Entertainment, the reimagined Baywatch will be executive produced by Michael Berk, Greg Bonann, Dante Di Loreto, Doug Schwartz and Matt Nix, with Nix also serving as showrunner.

Michael Thorn, president of FOX Television Network, said:

“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. 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.”

Christian Vesper, CEO Global Drama, Fremantle, said:

“Baywatch has always been a treasured asset in Fremantle’s portfolio and remains one of the most iconic series in television history globally. We have found the perfect partners in FOX to help us maintain this legacy. With Matt Nix at the helm, we are in great hands, as he excels at telling engaging and entertaining stories. Our goal is to reconnect with existing fans while also introducing a new generation to the world of these famous lifeguards.”

First launched in 1989, Baywatch became the most-watched show in the world, airing in more than 200 countries and reaching over a billion viewers weekly at its peak. The reboot will aim to capture that same energy, delivering sun-soaked rescues, tangled relationships and beachside heroics with a brand-new cast for today’s audience.

The Baywatch revival will premiere as part of FOX’s 2026-27 season.
