Whether it was a jellyfish sting or a near drowning accident, there was only one person who was capable of saving literally anybody from anything at Malibu Beach in the 1990s. His name was Mitch Buchannon and he was perhaps the most iconic and attractive lifeguard in the entire history of lifeguards. In fact, his whole team of California lifeguards were all particularly successful at saving lives and—no surprise here—undeniably attractive.
Captain Mitch, is a mere fictional character on the hit NBC series, Baywatch, played by David Hasselhoff. His team of sea-saving staffers—like Pamela Anderson's CJ Parker, Carmen Electra's Lani and Hobie, played by Jeremy Jackson—were all just TV roles too. Yet, their indisputable attractiveness and quick call to action at the beach made lifeguards the hottest thing to be in the '90s.
Now fans—old and new—can jog their red bathing suits down the sandy shores of their memory with all 11 seasons when Hulu releases the complete remastered series on its streaming platform starting in May.
Of course, there will be plenty of other titles debuting on Hulu in May as well, including the latest episode of the network's original horror series, Into the Dark.
See the full list of Hulu features arriving in May below.
