The series takes a deep dive into the cultural phenomenon of Baywatch, which first aired almost 35 years ago in September 1989 and ran until May 2001. Baywatch became a defining show of its era, known for its iconic slow-motion beach scenes and its impact on pop culture.

In the trailer, the stars reflect on their experiences with mixed emotions. Carmen Electra describes it as a “wild time,” while Jeremy Jackson speaks about the “epic highs and bitter lows” of being part of such a high-profile show. David Chokachi touches on the intense media scrutiny they faced, where any perceived flaws were quickly highlighted. Warlock adds that the cast members were often considered “disposable,” with those not fitting the show’s image being swiftly replaced.
The docuseries offers viewers a unique look behind the scenes, featuring new interviews with many of the original cast members and creators, such as Nicole Eggert, Carmen Electra, Billy Warlock, Alexandra Paul, and more. It also includes never-before-seen footage, shedding light on the real-life dynamics and challenges faced by the actors.
One of the most anticipated moments in the series is a never-aired interview with Pamela Anderson, alongside home videos shot by the cast, which offer an intimate look at their off-camera lives. In one clip, Anderson reflects humorously on her career, saying, “I’m really proud of everything I’ve done… almost.”
The docuseries also explores how Baywatch pushed cultural boundaries, with a voiceover noting that “everybody likes to watch sexy things,” highlighting the show’s provocative appeal.
