Model and television personality Brooks Nader has been cast as a series regular in Fox's upcoming reboot of the iconic lifeguard drama Baywatch, which is set to premiere during the 2026-27 broadcast season. The series, a coproduction between Fox Entertainment and Fremantle, will begin production this spring at Venice Beach and the Fox studio lot in Century City, Los Angeles.

Nader joins the ensemble in the role of Selene, the sharp-tongued captain of the Zuma Beach lifeguards.

Their tense relationship deteriorates further when Hobie adds his newly discovered daughter, Charlie, to the team, revealing layers of rivalry beyond professional disagreements.

The reboot centers on Hobie Buchannon, played by Stephen Amell, who has matured from the wild child of the original series into a dedicated captain carrying on the legacy of his father, Mitch Buchannon. Hobie's life upends when Charlie Vale, portrayed by Jessica Belkin, arrives unannounced and insists on joining the lifeguards to honor the family tradition....
