If you’re waiting to catch Fox’s Baywatch reboot, you’ll be waiting a bit longer.
Despite the fact that the series is currently filming in the Los Angeles area, the show will not debut until January of 2027.
The President of Fox Broadcast network explained why they are holding the show.
Via THR, Michael said, “There’s only one Baywatch. It’s one of the most iconic, popular television franchises in TV history.”
“We have a rich history and of launching series midseason. We just did it most recently with Best Medicine and Memory of a Killer and Doc before that. It goes all the way back to 24 and Empire and the 9-1-1s and The Resident. Obviously, Baywatch is a huge, huge priority for us, and we think we have a great opportunity to set the show up for success [in midseason].”
The site noted that perhaps Fox will be waiting to air Baywatch as a post-game debut after the NFC Conference Championship on January 31. Millions and millions of people tune in for the Championship games, so this would bring a lot of eyeballs to the premiere ep, if it’s true.
Who stars in Baywatch on Fox?
Stephen Amell stars as Captain Hobie Buchannon, with Shay Mitchell, Hassie Harrison, Jessica Belkin, Noah Beck, Brooks Nader, and Livvy Dunne also taking on roles.
