According to The Hollywood Reporter, Mitchell plays Trina, a lawyer who quits a big firm to become a full-time lifeguard. A longtime Baywatch fan, she hopes the reboot keeps the original’s warm, action-packed spirit.
At Fox Upfront 2026 Mitchell sported a vintage-style tee featuring the ’90s cast and thanked her stylist for finding it. The new series, also starring Brooks Nader, Livvy Dunne and Stephen Amell, follows a new generation of Southern California lifeguards and is slated for Fox in 2027.
