Pamela led the red swimsuit brigade which included actresses like Yasmine Bleeth, Nicole Eggert, Alexandra Paul, Parker Stevenson, Erika Eleniak, in addition to several others.
It remains unclear if the Pamela, David, or any of the series regulars will be returning to the franchise in any capacity.
The original series took place at a Los Angeles beach where a team of lifeguards led by Lieutenant Mitch Buchannon (Hasselhoff) save lives, deal with personal dramas, fight crime and participate in over the top adventures on a daily basis.
It was created by Michael Berk, Douglas Schwartz and Gregory J. Bonann as it was inspired by Bonann’s time as an LA County lifeguard.
The four will serve as executive producers on the upcoming hour-long drama.
The original series was pitched by Bonann and was passed on by CBS and later the pilot Baywatch: Panic At The Malibu Pier was sold to NBC and aired as a TV movie and was so successful that it was picked up for a 12-episode season.
Lara Olsen has been tapped by Fox and Freemantle as the showrunner for the new series according to Variety.
The synopsis for the revamped Baywatch reads: ‘Daring ocean rescues, pristine beaches, and iconic red bathing suits are back, along with a whole new generation of Baywatch lifeguards, who navigate complicated, messy personal lives in this action-packed reboot that demonstrates there’s the family you’re born into and the family you find.’
