Shay Mitchell and Hassie Harrison Share Fun Behind the Scenes Moments for ‘Baywatch’
The ‘Baywatch’ reboot has been creating quite a stir since Fox approved the project, and fans are now getting an inside look at how the cast is connecting during filming.
The beaches of Los Angeles have turned into a hotspot for behind-the-scenes content as the cast navigates their filming schedule, giving viewers a glimpse of the fun that happens off-camera. These candid moments have proven to be nearly as captivating as the action-packed scenes fans loved from the original series.
Currently filming on location in Malibu, the cast has been sharing snapshots of their coastal adventures on social media.
A recent video showcased Shay Mitchell and Hassie Harrison dancing in the iconic red swimsuits that the series is famous for.
In her regular role, Mitchell will portray Trina, a former lawyer who left her prestigious firm to fully commit to lifeguarding. Harrison joins the cast as Nat, alongside Jessica Belkin as Charlie Vale, Thaddeus LaGrone as Brad, and Brooks Nader as Selene, the witty captain of the Zuma Beach lifeguards. The chemistry among the cast members seems effortless, as evidenced by the playful behind-the-scenes moments that have emerged recently.
The interactions unfolding on set reflect a broader evolution in how the ‘Baywatch’ legacy is being reinterpreted. When the new cast was announced, many were surprised to see social media influencers like Livvy Dunne and Brooks Nader, known for their large Instagram followings, included alongside traditional television actors. Despite some initial skepticism, the blend appears to be working well, with established stars like Mitchell and Harrison providing stability while newer talent injects fresh energy.
Mitchell has expressed her enthusiasm for the role, sharing a selfie on Instagram in her red one-piece with the caption “quick selfie before getting knocked by the waves,” along with a series of behind-the-scenes photos.
Harrison, recognized for her role on Yellowstone, was captured mid-jump over a surfboard in her red swimsuit, attracting a new audience to the eagerly awaited reboot. These candid moments have helped personalize the production and heighten anticipation for what the show will offer when it premieres.
The ‘Baywatch’ reboot is set to air as part of Fox’s 2026-2027 broadcast lineup, following Hobie Buchannon as he steps into the role of Baywatch captain after his legendary father.
With director McG at the helm of the pilot and showrunner Matt Nix overseeing the overall vision, the production has assembled a strong creative team behind the scenes. The off-camera camaraderie now being showcased through social media indicates that both the professional framework and interpersonal relationships are in place for what could turn into compelling television.
