Hassie Harrison (“Yellowstone”) has been join the cast of Fox‘s upcoming “Baywatch” reboot. The actor joins a growing cast that includes Stephen Amell, Jessica Belkin, David Chokachi and the just-announced Thaddeus LaGrone.
In the new “Baywatch,” Harrison will play Nat, who according to the character description is “a former foster kid turned Olympic athlete. Nat is the gold standard when it comes to lifeguarding. Brilliant, driven, and fiercely loyal, she’s Hobie’s right hand and closest friend. Nat holds everyone to the same high standards she has for herself, which sometimes gets in the way of her relationships on and off the beach.”
Harrison’s credits include the thriller “Dangerous Animals,” as well as upcoming films such as the modern Western thriller “The Rescue,” the neo-noir “Deep Eddy” and the thriller “Raven.” On “Yellowstone,” she recurred for three seasons as barrel racer Laramie. She was also on HBO’s “It’s Florida, Man,” and Shane Gillis’ Netflix series “Tires.”
In the new “Baywatch,” scheduled to premiere on Fox during the 2026-2027 TV season, Amell plays Hobie Buchannon, the son of original “Baywatch” lead character Mitch Buchannon, while Belkin is Charlie Vale, Chokachi reprises his role from the original series, Cody Madison, and LaBrone will play Brad. Fox and producer Fremantle also recently held a day-long casting call to find additional players for the new show.
Here’s part of the logline for the revival: “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. 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. 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. He’s a mentor to and a friend, providing a second home for his fellow lifeguards… and always offering free wings after a big save.”
“Baywatch” was picked up for the 2026-2027 broadcast season by Fox back in September 2025 with a 12-episode order. Matt Nix is the showrunner and an executive producer on the reboot along with McG, Michael Berk, Greg Bonann, Doug Schwartz, Dante Di Loreto and Mike Horowitz.
