Malibu alert will be back in 2026! A new series ordered
We will find the beach rescuers for 12 new episodes. But who will be?
Prepare the red swimsuit: Baywatch returns. Fox officially ordered a new alert version in Malibu, scheduled for the TV season 2026-2027 (an outing planned for September 2026 or early 2027).
The reboot will be co -produced by Fox Entertainment and Fremantle, with a first season of 12 episodes.
At the controls: Matt Nix (creator of Burn Notice and the series of mutants The Gifted) will be showrunner and executive producer. Alongside him, Michael Berk, Greg Bonann and Doug Schwartz, the creators of the cult series in the 1990s, also re -stated in production.
“During its first broadcast, alert to Malibu defined a whole era of beach life and raised the lifeguards to the rank of icons. Today, with Fremantle and Matt Nix, we will offer a new generation the experience alert to Malibu with new stories, new faces and all the spectacle that made the global success of the franchise,” said Michael Thorn, president of Fox Television.
The series was one of the tubes of the 1990s, bringing out stars like Pamela Anderson or Nicole Eggert or the French David Charvet, around the emblematic David Hasselhoff. None of them should come back a priori. It will be a total reboot. The cast has just started. No actor is still attached to the project.
The idea of a return from alert to Malibu has already been circulating since 2018 since 2018, in the wake of the film carried by Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron, who had been able to wake up the nostalgia for beach rescuers (200 million dollars at the world box office). But it was not until 2024 that the concept of a reboot ended up materializing on Fox.
As a reminder, the original series started in 1989 on NBC before knowing eleven seasons and almost 250 episodes, without forgetting the passage by Hawaii (ephemeral spin-off) and a meeting telefilm broadcast on Fox in 2003.
