Overview

• Fox gives a straight-to-series pickup co-produced with Fremantle, reviving the lifeguard drama for broadcast.
• Burn Notice creator Matt Nix will serve as showrunner and executive producer, alongside original creators Michael Berk, Greg Bonann and Doug Schwartz with Dante Di Loreto.
• The series remains set on Southern California’s coastline with an all-new ensemble wearing the franchise’s signature red swimsuits.
• Casting has not been announced, and the network has been exploring production hubs including L.A. and Australia, with a California tax credit likely decisive.
• The order follows years of development and leans on the brand’s global legacy, as Fox recalibrates after canceling Rescue: HI-Surf in May.
