Brooks Nader is taking on a significant role in the upcoming ‘Baywatch’ revival, and her conservative parents surprisingly approve of her wardrobe choice. Nader, a Sports Illustrated model and actress, shared that despite a family ban on bikinis during her upbringing, her family embraces her iconic red swimsuit in the reboot.

Nader turned heads at the 2026 FOX Upfront in New York City, promoting the new ‘Baywatch’ series, which is much anticipated by audiences, and shared the unexpected reason for her family’s approval.

Nader expressed feeling surreal about donning the red swimsuit, noting it as her ‘work uniform.’ She jokingly mentioned her sisters’ jealousy over her new role.

Nader will portray Selene, one of the captains at Zuma Beach in FOX’s version of the show, originally famous for Pamela Anderson’s portrayal in the 1990s. The series aired from 1989 to 1999 and became a cultural phenomenon with stars like David Hasselhoff, Anderson, and Carmen Electra.

Feeling the weight of carrying on the series’ legacy, Nader acknowledged the challenge of stepping into the shoes of Pamela Anderson, whom she admires greatly.

This reboot aims to captivate a new generation with fresh twists while honoring the classic series. Alongside Nader, influencers such as Noah Beck and Livvy Dunne are set to join, enhancing the show’s appeal.

The buzz surrounding the revival has been significant, with fans eager to see the updated storyline and new cast members. The show is set to premiere in January 2027, offering new energy to a beloved beach drama.
