The film opened to middling reviews, effectively putting the kibosh on any plans to continue the franchise as a film series.
The nostalgia factor also did not work in the movie’s favor, with Pamela Anderson, the original Baywatch babe, openly stating that the film was not to her taste.
Something similar happened to a planned reboot of the original Baywatch tv show, which, according to cast member David Cokachi on an episode of the podcast The Production Meeting, was going to get a modern series reboot until its movie adaptation got in the way.
Unfortunately, based on Cokachi’s remarks, it seems unlikely that fans will be able to witness a tv reboot of Baywatch anytime soon.
