Noah Beck Stuns Shirtless on the Beach in First Photos From ‘Baywatch’ Reboot
The beaches of Los Angeles are sparking curiosity as production begins on the much-awaited Baywatch revival. Early glimpses from the set show that the iconic red swimsuits are back in full force.
On the morning of March 17, actors Noah Beck and Jessica Belkin were spotted filming on the sand. The two were seen running along the beach, doing the classic Baywatch-style beach runs, hinting at a fast-paced start to the new series.
The revival is being made for Fox and will continue the story from the original series. The show is designed to bring back old fans while also attracting new viewers by combining familiar characters with fresh faces.

Fans of the original will be happy to know that David Chokachi is returning as Cody Madison, a role he made famous years ago. Stephen Amell, known for playing Oliver Queen on Arrow, will take on the lead as the son of Mitch Buchannon.
During Tuesday’s filming, Beck appeared shirtless while Belkin wore a one-piece swimsuit similar to the style that Pamela Anderson made famous. This shows that the revival is staying true to the look that made Baywatch so popular.
According to Variety, the story focuses on an older version of a familiar character. “The wild child Hobie Buchannon we all loved from the original series is now a Baywatch captain, following in the footsteps of his legendary father, Mitch,” the synopsis says.

Things get interesting when a surprise family member enters Hobie’s life. “Hobie’s world is turned upside down when Charlie, the daughter he never knew, shows up on his doorstep, eager to carry on the Buchannon family legacy and become a Baywatch lifeguard alongside her dad,” the synopsis explains.
Cody Madison’s character has also grown. “OG heartthrob Cody Madison now runs The Shoreline, the unofficially official Baywatch bar-and-grill, and still puts on the red trunks for the occasional shift saving lives,” the report from Variety adds. Cody will serve as a mentor and friend to the younger lifeguards, helping them navigate life on and off the beach.
Noah Beck, who plays Luke, has been moving from his career as a digital creator into acting. He recently starred in the romantic comedy The QB Bad Boy and Me and is known for attending big fashion events worldwide. Jessica Belkin, playing Charlie Buchannon, is a rising star who previously appeared in American Horror Story: Hotel and The Orville.
Stephen Amell brings his action-star experience to the show after ten years as Oliver Queen. He is also working on the upcoming legal drama Suits: L.A., showing he has become a regular on television.
Matt Nix, the creator of Burn Notice, is running the revival. The show will include intense rescue scenes and drama between the characters. Fox plans to make the series a major part of its upcoming schedule.
Filming has attracted crowds to the Los Angeles coast, with fans hoping to catch a glimpse of the new team in action. More appearances from original cast members are rumored, adding to the excitement.
The series is expected to premiere later this year, bringing the sun-soaked adventures of the L.A. County Lifeguards back to television. With a mix of veteran characters and new faces, the revival aims to capture the fun and energy that made the original show a hit.
