#FIRSTLOOK: “BAYWATCH” COMING TO PRIME VIDEO JANUARY 2027

First hitting screens in 1989, Baywatch became the most-watched show in the world, airing in more than 200 countries and at its peak reaching more than a billion viewers weekly. Its global appeal helped define beach culture for generations. Baywatch will launch across Italy, Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, Benelux, Switzerland, Austria, Turkey, Canada, Latin America, and India on Prime Video in January 2027.

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 Southern California’s coastline.

The new version of Baywatch finds wild-child legacy character HOBIE BUCHANNON (Stephen Amell) serving as a Baywatch Captain, following in the footsteps of his legendary father, Mitch. 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 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 of CODY MADISON.

Baywatch is co-produced by Fremantle and FOX Entertainment 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. FOX Entertainment Global holds domestic distribution rights, and Fremantle manages all international sales.
