Last season’s Rescue: HI-Surf was one and done, but Fox hopes for better viewer numbers with the reboot of Baywatch. Per Fox: “The series reboot will celebrate the franchise’s enduring legacy while re-energizing it for today’s global audience. Matt Nix will executive produce and serve as showrunner. “In its first run, Baywatch defined an entire era of beach life and elevated lifeguards to an iconic status. Now, with our partners at Fremantle, this television juggernaut is set for a modern-day comeback,” said Michael Thorn, President of FOX Television Network.
