\n\tFox<\/a>\u2018s update of Baywatch<\/a> is not trying to reinvent the original show: The cast is again made up<\/a> of very attractive people playing Los Angeles lifeguards, and it\u2019s going to mix high-stakes rescues and personal drama.<\/p>\n

\n\tA full-length trailer further drives home the point \u2014\u00a0after all, why mess with what, as the video notes, was once the most popular show in the world? Soundtracked to the original show\u2019s theme song, \u201cI\u2019m Always Here,\u201d the trailer features a small plane crash, a wildfire in the hills near the beach, an exploding lifeguard tower and a healthy bit of interpersonal drama between the team, led by Stephen Amell\u2019s Hobie Buchannon. Watch it below.<\/p>\n

\n\tHere\u2019s the full description for Baywatch: \u201cHobie is serving as a Baywatch Captain, following in the footsteps of his legendary father, Mitch [played by David Hasselhoff in the original series]. Hobie\u2019s world is turned upside down when his daughter Charlie Vale (Jessica Belkin) shows up on his doorstep eager to carry on the Buchannon family legacy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHassie Harrison, Shay Mitchell, Thaddeus LaGrone, Noah Beck and Brooks Nader also star. Livvy Dunne and David Chokachi, a regular on the original, will have recurring roles. The show films on Venice Beach<\/a> and other locations in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

\n\tFox Entertainment Studios and Fremantle are producing Baywatch. Matt Nix (Burn Notice) executive produces with McG \u2014\u00a0who also directed the series premiere \u2014\u00a0Michael Berk, Greg Bonann, Doug Schwartz, Dante Di Loreto and Mike Horowitz. <\/p>\n
