‘Baywatch’ Reboot Lands at Fox


Fox has landed the reboot of the iconic 1990s syndicated hit "Baywatch," from Fremantle. Lara Olsen ('Spinning Out') will executive produce.

Like the end of a slo-mo music montage on the beach, “ Baywatch ” reboot has found a home: Fox has closed on a script+penalty deal for a new version of the long-running surf-sand-and-saviors series from Fremantle. Fox and Fremantle have tapped Lara Olsen(“Spinning Out”) to serve as showrunner for the new “Baywatch,” which was originally created by Michael Berk, Douglas Schwartz and Gregory J. Bonann. The producers recruited a variety of investors, including a small distributor, LBS, as well as an earlier version of Fremantle (which had distributed the show internationally and saw the popularity of Hasselhoff in Germany), UK outlet ITV and the Chris-Craft TV station group.
