David Hasselhoff played Lieutenant Mitch Buchannon of the Los Angeles County lifeguards on Baywatch. The red bikinis worn by his female staff became legendary.
In announcing the Fox reboot, Fox Television Network president Michael Thorn told Variety, "In its first run, Baywatch defined an entire era of beach life and elevated lifeguards to an iconic status."
Years ago, Hasselhoff explained his role in bringing the show back for a second chance after its initial cancellation. "You know, it was canceled, and I was upset with NBC."
Over the course of its 11-year run, Baywatch eventually aired in over 140 countries. In its prime, it was one of the world's most-watched television shows, at one time reaching 1.1 billion worldwide viewers.
Across the globe, Baywatch was a top show in Australia, France, the U.K., New Zealand, Ireland, and Germany. It then spread across Asia thanks to a satellite broadcast network launched by Rupert Murdoch.
In February 2017, Hasselhoff told People what he thought ultimately drove the worldwide success of Baywatch. "You've got to have heart. You've got to have a story. You've got to have humor. And you've got to have action."
He explained, "The show was canceled, we brought it back, and there was four of us. So one of us was a writer, one of us was a director, one of us was the lifeguard." Hasselhoff added that he was "the PR guy, the star, keeping up the morale... Keeping it afloat, and keeping it positive, and keeping it light."
The Fox Baywatch sequel is expected to air during the 2026-2027 season, according to Deadline. So far, stars announced who are joining the series include Pretty Little Liars alum Shay Mitchell, model and Dancing with the Stars alum Brooks Nader, and The Flash and Arrow star Stephen Amell. In addition, Baywatch alum David Chokachi is returning as Cody Madison.
