BAYWATCH Reboot Series in the Works at Freemantle
A reboot of the ‘90s TV series Baywatch is in the works at Freemantle. The beach drama show was among the most popular of its time, running for eleven seasons, including a move to Hawaii for later seasons, becoming one of the most-watched shows in the world, particularly internationally before launching the Baywatch Nights spinoff. There was also Baywatch: Hawaiian Wedding, a two-hour reunion movie that aired on Fox and the Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron-fronted 2017 movie.
No one is attached yet to the new series, as it is early on in development, but the studio assures it’s moving forward.
I don’t know that anyone is going to really watch this, unless they make it more of a drama leaning toward medical assistance on the beach, like a 9-1-1 type show. Hopefully they can take it seriously and develop a lifeguard show based more on the job, and less on the bodies.
