01Summary
- 01Fox cancelled 9-1-1 three years ago despite it being the network's highest-rated show for six seasons.
- 02The Baywatch reboot premieres in January 2027 and stars Arrow's Stephen Amell as Hobie Buchannon.
- 03The reboot's trailer shows wild emergencies, such as a small plane hitting parasailers and being pulled from the ocean.
- 04Fox co-owns the Baywatch reboot rights with Fremantle, avoiding the ownership issues that led to 9-1-1's cancellation.
- 059-1-1 was cancelled partly due to rising costs and because Fox did not own the show after Disney's acquisition.
02Why it matters
This matters because Fox has lacked a hit action-drama since losing 9-1-1, and the Baywatch reboot could fill that gap for fans of high-stakes, melodramatic television.
