Carmen Electra would join ‘Baywatch’ reboot on 1 condition

She’s game to go back to the beach. 

Carmen Electra, at 53, expressed interest in returning to her role as Lani McKenzie for the newly announced “Baywatch” reboot, but she does have one stipulation.

“It could be fun” to join the cast of the reboot, the actress and model told TMZ in a recent interview. 

“I’m not sure if I’d be eager to work in the ocean. It’s the ocean, after all, and while I cherish being near it, working in it is a whole different story. It can be quite complicated when you’re filming in the ocean,” she remarked.

Electra said she has no hesitation about the other aspects of the show. 

“I can definitely perform the iconic slow-motion run. That’s something I can still do, and I look fantastic in that [bathing] suit, so that’s not an issue. But when it comes to the water — perhaps I could be a captain instead!” she joked.

Electra hasn’t been officially announced as part of the new cast. 

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 cast members such as Electra, Pamela Anderson, 58, or David Hasselhoff, 73, will return.  No new cast members have been announced, either.

The original “Baywatch” premiered in 1989 and aired its first season on NBC before moving into syndication for the remainder 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 countries, for over 200 episodes. It made stars such as Anderson and Hasselhoff into global icons.

In 2017, there was a movie reboot of “Baywatch,” starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Zac Efron, and Alexandra Daddario. The movie 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 light on the show’s infamous slo-mo running 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 running “full speed” on the beach, 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 cast 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.
