Summary

  • Brooks Nader, 29, was photographed filming beach scenes for Fox’s “Baywatch” reboot in the franchise’s signature red one-piece as she previews her role as lifeguard captain Selene.
  • January 2027 is the target premiere for the series, which also stars Stephen Amell, Shay Mitchell and Hassie Harrison after Fox announced Nader’s casting in March.
  • Social media backlash has focused on the reboot’s influencer-heavy cast, with critics calling it “influencer casting, not acting” and mocking the lineup as a joke.
  • Nader defended that mix, arguing actors and influencers can now be “multi-hyphenate” and that social media reach can bring a new vibe to the show.
  • The reboot revives a franchise that ran 11 seasons from 1989 to 2001 and helped launch stars including Pamela Anderson and Carmen Electra.
