Livvy Dunne has shared a behind-the-scenes glimpse of Baywatch filming after landing a role in the highly-anticipated reboot.
The former LSU gymnast, 23, is one of many standout recruits for the remake of the iconic ’90s television series, along with fellow Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Brooks Nader, actresses Hassie Harrison, Shay Mitchell and Jessica Belkin, and TikTok personality Noah Beck.
While on set in Malibu, Dunne posed for a stunning selfie with co-star Harrison, most famous for her role in Yellowstone.
The pair are both donning the famous red Baywatch swimsuits in the snap, with Dunne winking and holding up a peace-sign gesture.
‘Baewatch,’ she wrote as the caption after posting it on her Instagram story.
Dunne, who is making her acting debut, has been cast in a recurring role as a junior lifeguard in the Baywatch reboot.

The social-media sensation was seen frolicking on the sand alongside her famous castmates earlier this week, with the group posing in red swimwear and showing off their chiseled physiques.
The myriad of stars were pictured going through the classic Baywatch shots, smoldering at the cameras in their sultry outfits.
The cast have brushed off criticism of the reboot after shooting their dramatic beach scenes on Wednesday.
In September, Fox announced they were ‘reimagining’ the iconic series with a 12-episode order for the 2026-2027 season.
The new show follows Hobie Buchannon (originally played by Jeremy Jackson) as he steps into the role of Baywatch captain, following in the footsteps of his legendary father Mitch Buchannon (originally played by David Hasselhoff), joined by a new generation of lifeguards patrolling the Los Angeles coastline.
When the casting choices were revealed, many were shocked to see social media stars like Dunne and Nader among the lifeguard team – better known for their Instagram following than their acting chops.
But when first-look photos and clips hit the internet on Wednesday, fans didn’t hold back, tearing into the reboot as a derivative idea, with influencers in lead roles and a plot destined for failure.

Despite the vocal backlash, the cast seems to be embracing the opportunity.
Earlier this month, Dunne had revealed how excited she was to try and carve out an acting career.
‘It’s something I’ve been passionate about for quite some time. I was interested in doing that at LSU, but sports are your top priority when you’re a student-athlete at school,’ she said.
‘And now that I’m done with school, I have more time to lean into the acting stuff and the creative side of things.
‘Whether it’s gymnastics or acting in a movie or a TV show, I just think watching all your hard work pay off, whether it’s an individual thing or a group thing, I think it’s so cool.’
Dunne was also pictured sharing a laugh on the beach with Nader, who is playing one of the lead characters.

The beautiful duo were undergoing ‘ocean training’ at Venice Beach ahead of kickstarting filming, according to Page Six.
They were pictured mastering their slow-motion running into the water and are apparently also working with trained lifeguards to master techniques for their roles.
‘They’re really excited to be working together,’ a source close to the production was quoted as saying about Dunne and Nader, who know each other from previous shoots with Sports Illustrated.
‘They’re having so much fun and bringing that Sports Illustrated energy straight to Baywatch Beach.’
