Shay Mitchell slips into iconic red Baywatch swimsuit as she films beach scene for upcoming reboot

Shay Mitchell was spotted working on the upcoming Baywatch reboot in the Los Angeles area on Monday.

The 38-year-old actress showed off her fit figure in the show’s recognizable red bikini, which features a low-cut neckline and high-cut bottom half.

Mitchell, whose casting was announced just weeks ago, got to work in Redondo Beach as she filmed alongside castmates Stephen Amell, Thaddeus LaGrone, and Jessica Belkin.

Her long dark hair was parted down the middle and cascaded down her back in a tousled texture during the shoot.

She will star as Trina, a former lawyer who left a top-tier firm in order to work as a full-time lifeguard. 

Mitchell rose to fame as Emily Fields in the mystery thriller drama series Pretty Little Liars, which aired from 2010 to 2017.

Other stars in the upcoming Baywatch show include Brooks Nader, Livvy Dunne, and Hassie Harrison.

Earlier this month Nader confirmed her involvement with the series in an Instagram post.

In multiple photos taken next to a trailer in a studio lot, she flipped through an official script with her name printed on it.

Another image showed her going over highlighted lines as she traveled via private jet.

She wrote in the caption, ‘I believed in this long before it made sense. Never give up, chase your dreams no matter how wild there are!!!!!

‘@baywatchtv @foxtv LETS GO! ??’

When first-look photos recently hit the internet, fans tore into the reboot, calling it a derivative idea, with influencers in lead roles and a plot destined for failure. 

Despite the backlash, the cast is embracing the opportunity. 

Nader hit back at naysayers, exclusively telling Daily Mail: ‘I think that the times are different and everyone is so multi-hyphenate now, and you can be both an actor and an influencer and have influence. 

‘And that’s the beauty of the culture that social media has created.’

The new Baywatch iteration will air for 12 episodes.

The show, which originally ran from 1989 to 2001, followed the lives of a group of lifeguards who patrol the beaches in Los Angeles.

It starred David Hasselhoff in the lead role of Mitch Buchannon and also made a star out of Pamela Anderson, who played C.J. Parker.

Although it consistently received negative reviews from critics, Baywatch was a hit with viewers and became the most-watched TV show in the world during its run.

For its final two years on air, the show was retitled Baywatch: Hawaii, with future movie star Jason Momoa joining the cast.

In a statement to Variety last fall, Michael Thorn, President of Fox Television Network, said: ‘In its first run, Baywatch defined an entire era of beach life and elevated lifeguards to an iconic status. Now, with our partners at Fremantle, this television juggernaut is set for a modern-day comeback.

‘Together, Fox and Fremantle, along with Matt Nix and original co-creator Greg Bonann, will bring the California dream to a whole new generation of fans with fresh stories, rising stars and all the spectacle that make the Baywatch franchise a global sensation.’

The reboot will follow Hobie Buchannon (Amell) as he plays a Baywatch Captain, just like his iconic father Mitch.
