Carmen Electra would join ‘Baywatch’ reboot on 1…
She’s sport to go back to the seaside.
Carmen Electra, 53, said she would be prepared to reprise her function of Lani McKenzie on the lately announced “Baywatch” reboot – but she has one condition.
“It could be fun” to join the solid of the reboot, the actress and model told GWN in a current interview.

Electra said she has no hesitation about the other elements of the show.
“I could do the slow-motion run. I can definitely do that. And I still look really good in that [bathing] suit, so that is not a problem. But the water — maybe I could be a captain!” she joked.
Electra hasn’t been formally announced as half of the new solid.

The “Baywatch” reboot was announced on Sept 23. Fox gave the show a straight-to-series order for the 2026/27 TV season, but it hasn’t been revealed if solid members such as Electra, Pamela Anderson, 58, or David Hasselhoff, 73, will return. No new solid members have been announced, either.
The unique “Baywatch” premiered in 1989 and aired its first season on NBC before transferring into syndication for the rest of its run, which ended after 11 seasons in 2001.
It was the most-watched show in the world at its peak, airing in over 200 nations, for over 200 episodes. It made stars such as Anderson and Hasselhoff into global icons.

In 2017, there was a film reboot of “Baywatch,” starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Zac Efron, and Alexandra Daddario. The film flopped, and the Post review proclaimed, “It washes up on the beach like a dead whale.”
In May, “Baywatch” star Nicole Eggert, 53, shed some gentle on the show’s notorious slo-mo working scenes.
“We were the guinea pigs, the first two seasons of this new look of ‘Baywatch.’ Nobody mentioned the slow-mo,” she said.

She explained that she initially filmed working “full speed” on the seaside, and an editor tinkered with the footage to slow it down.
“And let me tell you something, full speed running in slow motion is not cute,” she joked. “Not cute at all.”
In a 2024 documentary, “After Baywatch: Moment in the Sun,” former solid member Billy Warlock, 64, said, “Everybody was disposable. And if you didn’t fit into their brand, you were gone.”
A premiere date has not been announced for the “Baywatch” reboot.
