Fox first announced Nader’s casting on Instagram in March, writing, the actress “sure manifested this one into being.” She will be playing Selene, a captain of the Zuma beach lifeguards.
Nader then took to her social media to confirm the news, sharing multiple photos of herself on set, as well as herself as a child, including one of her wearing a shirt with “movie star” written on it, and another of her posing in a one-piece swimsuit.
“I believed in this long before it made sense 💫,” she wrote in the caption. “Never give up, chase your dreams no matter how wild there are!!!!!@baywatchtv @foxtv LETS GO! ❤️.”
While she was excited about being part of the show, many social media users took issue with the influencer-heavy casting on the show.

Some called it “influencer casting, not acting” and slammed the project as “a JOKE” with an “awful cast.” In addition to Nader, influencers on the cast include Noah Beck, who found fame on TikTok, and Livvy Dunne, who has over 13 million social media followers.
“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,” Nader told the Daily Mail in response to critics. “And that’s the beauty of the culture that social media has created.”
“We now have platforms,” she continued. “I think … during the ’90s, you didn’t have social media. You didn’t have Instagram or TikTok. And, so, people could use their voice now, and I think as long as they’re using it for good … I think that … it’ll bring a vibe to the show.”
The original show, which ran for 11 seasons over the course of 12 years, from 1989 to 2001, and launched the careers of many of its stars, including Pamela Anderson and Carmen Electra.

Electra joined the show in its eighth season, in 1997. During an appearance at 90s con in September 2024, Electra spoke about her big break and what her life was like prior to being discovered, noting she “was homeless in L.A.”
“I knew where I needed to be in N.Y. or L.A.,” she said, according to People. “So, there was a lot of struggling, and I didn’t really know what I was going to do. But I just started to try things and come out of my shell really. So that’s the beginning.”
