AceShowbiz - The Baywatch reboot’s production will continue in Venice Beach, California, despite earlier reports suggesting it might relocate. Local officials have taken active steps to ensure that filming remains within Los Angeles County.
On Friday, LA County Supervisor Lindsey Horvath convened a meeting at Fox Studios with city officials, production representatives, and agency leaders. The gathering aimed to address and resolve logistical challenges and government restrictions that had been affecting the show’s filming schedule and location.
Los Angeles City Councilwoman Traci Park reassured the public that the series “was never leaving Venice or Los Angeles,” according to a report by ABC7 Los Angeles. This statement dismisses rumors and confirms a strong commitment to keeping the production rooted in the local community.
Additionally, the reboot's filming in Los Angeles was supported by Fox securing a significant $21.1 million California tax credit, which further incentivizes production to stay within the state. This financial backing plays an important role in the decision to continue shooting in Venice Beach and the surrounding Los Angeles area.
As Baywatch moves forward with its filming plans, the collaboration between government officials and production teams highlights their shared dedication to overcoming challenges and maintaining the show’s presence in the iconic Venice Beach location.
