Baywatch is back! Fox is ordering a reboot of the classic beach series in a co-production between Fremantle and Fox Entertainment, via Deadline.

The new “action-packed” Baywatch reboot is written by Lara Olsen who will serve as showrunner. Here’s a plot summary; “Daring ocean rescues, pristine beaches, and iconic red bathing suits are back, along with a whole new generation of Baywatch lifeguards, who navigate complicated, messy personal lives.” The original series featured stars like David Hasselhoff and Pamela Anderson, and followed a group of lifeguards who patrolled the beaches of LA County.
