McG has taken the helm of the "Baywatch" series reboot for Fox.

The renowned director McG, famous for his work on the classic series Charlie's Angels—including the 2000 blockbuster adaptation and its sequel—will once again bring his vision to the small screen as he helms the pilot episode and takes on the role of executive producer for the upcoming Baywatch reboot on Fox. **Production Details and Filming Locations** This new action-packed series is a collaboration between Fremantle and Fox Entertainment, initiated by Burn Notice creator Matt Nix. Filming is slated to commence in March 2026, primarily at Venice Beach in Los Angeles and on the Fox Studio Lot in Century City. The project benefits from a substantial $21.1 million California state tax credit, supporting the production costs. **Series Concept and Casting** Staying true to the original, the series will showcase thrilling rescue missions, intricate personal dynamics, and heroic acts along the Southern California coast. However, it will also introduce a fresh perspective with a contemporary reinterpretation and a new cast. The iconic red swimsuits will return as the main characters patrol the beaches, with active casting underway to find the perfect actors for these roles. **Collaboration Between McG and Matt Nix** This Baywatch reboot marks another successful collaboration between McG and Matt Nix, following their recent joint efforts on the series Turner & Hooch for Disney+ and True Lies for CBS. **Upcoming Projects from Director McG** Fans can also look forward to McG’s upcoming adventure comedy-action film, Way Of The Warrior Kid, starring Chris Pratt. This project highlights McG’s signature blend of high-energy action sequences, humor, and family-friendly storytelling, reaffirming his versatility as a filmmaker.
