About Baywatch
Baywatch follows Mitch Buchannon and Los Angeles lifeguards across rescues and beach crime from 1989 to 2001. The main show ran 11 seasons, shifting to Baywatch Hawaii for the last two. Baywatch Nights from 1995 puts Mitch with Garner into night detective cases for two seasons.
TV movies bridge the runs, with Hawaiian Wedding in 2003 reuniting the cast. The 2017 film with Dwayne Johnson restarts as a comedy and sits apart. Watch the main show first, then Nights and the reunion films, with 2017 last as a separate take.
Good to know
Release order works because crossovers assume you know Mitch and the tower crew. Baywatch Nights season 1 ties directly to the main show before turning stranger in season 2. Hawaiian Wedding closes the original continuity. The 2017 movie keeps names and the beach but resets tone to comedy, so treat it as an optional reboot after the classic run ends.
