In the latest release trailer of After Baywatch: Moment in The Sun, the stars of the show look back on their time with mixed emotions. Electra recalls it being a “wild time,” while Jackson talks about the “epic highs and bitter lows” of being on the show.
David Chokachi shares how the media scrutinized them, looking for any flaws. Warlock adds that everyone was considered “disposable,” and if someone didn’t fit the show’s image, they were quickly replaced.
The docu-series aims to give viewers an unprecedented look into the lives of the actors who portrayed the world’s most famous lifeguards. It includes dozens of new interviews with cast members and creators, including Nicole Eggert, Carmen Electra, Billy Warlock, Alexandra Paul, Traci Bingham, Erika Eleniak, Gregory Alan Williams, David Chokachi, Jeremy Jackson, Michael Newman, Michael Berk, and Douglas Schwartz.
