Sky has acquired exclusive rights in the U.K. and Ireland to the rebooted “Baywatch,” a beach-set drama produced by Fox and Fremantle. Multiple outlets report that the deal was reached with distributor Fremantle and covers the series’ availability on Sky’s pay-TV service and its streaming platform, Now. The reboot is scheduled to launch in 2027, according to one report, while another says it is set to return next year. The original “Baywatch” ran for 11 seasons and concluded about 25 years ago, and the new series is presented as a continuation of the franchise’s premise with an updated lifeguard team. Deadline also reports the reboot will consist of 12 episodes. The companies involved include Sky (the rights holder), Fremantle (the distributor in the cited agreement), and Fox as a producing partner. Financial details of the agreement are not provided in the available summaries.
