Baywatch Premiere Date and Trailer Unveiled

FOX has set the Baywatch premiere date for Wednesday, January 6, 2027 (9:00-10:00 pm ET/PT) and released the official trailer for the upcoming series.

The new Baywatch series finds wild-child legacy character Hobie Buchannon (Stephen Amell) serving as a Baywatch Captain, following in the footsteps of his legendary father, Mitch, and leading a new generation of lifeguards along the Southern California coast, where high-stakes rescues collide with attraction, friendship, family, and responsibility.

Hobie’s world is turned upside down when his daughter, Charlie Vale (Jessica Belkin), shows up on his doorstep, eager to carry on the Buchannon family legacy. The series also stars members of this new Baywatch team: Hassie Harrison as Nat, Shay Mitchell as Trina, Thaddeus LaGrone as Brad, Noah Beck as Luke, and Brooks Nader as Selene.

In recurring roles, Livvy Dunne will make her acting debut as Grace, and David Chokachi will reprise his original-series character, Cody Madison.

FOX‘s Baywatch will celebrate the franchise’s enduring legacy, while re-energizing it for today’s global audience.

Fans can expect all the adrenaline-fueled rescues, tangled relationships, complicated chemistry, and beachside heroics that defined the original – now with a new cast, contemporary trappings, tensions and challenges, and a renewed mission to save lives along Los Angeles’ beaches.

The Baywatch reboot is co-produced by FOX Entertainment Studios and Fremantle with Matt Nix (Burn Notice, The Gifted) serving as showrunner and executive producer.

McG, Michael Berk, Greg Bonann, Doug Schwartz, Dante Di Loreto and Mike Horowitz are executive producers. McG directed the series premiere.
