The unforgettable original series starred heartthrob David Hasselhoff and launched the careers of international superstars from Pamela Anderson and Carmen Electra to Jason Momoa and Yasmine Bleeth.

The series reboot will celebrate the franchise’s enduring legacy, while re-energising 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 an entirely new cast, contemporary trappings, tensions and challenges, and a renewed mission to protect Southern California’s coastline.
