Love Thy Nader star Brooks Nader is the newest Baywatch babe!
Deadline revealed that the 29-year-old model is joining the cast for the upcoming reboot series. The new Baywatch is set to premiere as part of the 2026-2027 season.
Brooks’ character, Selene, is a series regular that will follow the lead Stephen Amell’s Hobie Buchannon, the son of David Hasselhoff’s Mitch Buchannon.
What to expect:
“Selene is the sharp-tongued Captain of the Zuma beach lifeguards,” Nader’s official character description reads. “While she is excellent at her job, she and Baywatch Captain Hobie Buchannon have a very different approach to saving lives that is a constant source of friction.”
“Never on good terms, their relationship only goes downhill after Hobie brings his daughter Charlie [Jessica Belkin] onto his team… and it becomes clear that their rivalry goes much deeper than lifeguarding.”
In addition to Brooks Nader, Amell, and Belkin, other cast members include Hassie Harrison as Nat, Thaddeus LaGrone as Brad, and David Chokachi, who is reprising his original role of Cody Madison.
The news comes three years after Nader rocked a Baywatch-esque red one-piece on the cover of the 2023 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue. She announced the news on Instagram Stories and re-posted a photo of her SI Swim cover writing, “I’ve been manifesting this for a minute @si_swimsuit.”
In case you missed the OG series:
Baywatch’s return was announced in September, nearly 25 years after the original came to an end in May 2001. It first made its debut in 1989 and ran for 11 seasons, becoming one of the most-watched TV series.
The lifeguard drama initially followed stars like David Hasselhoff, Carmen Electra, and Pamela Anderson as the iconic C.J. Parker.
It also featured Michael Newman as Michael “Newmie” Newman, Alexandra Paul as lifeguard Stephanie Holden, Nicole Eggert as Roberta “Summer” Quinn and Jeremy Jackson as Mitch Buchannon’s young son, Hobie, who is seemingly the focus of the upcoming reboot.
