The Rock announced Anderson’s involvement in a post on Instagram, saying it’s “a pleasure to welcome (as gorgeous as ever) Pamela Anderson to our Baywatch cast. We couldn’t have made this movie without you.”
Anderson played the part of C.J. Parker in the original Baywatch TV series for over five years, and starred in 111 episodes.
At this juncture it’s not known what part Anderson will play, but it was previously announced that relative newcomer Kelly Rohrbach will be taking on the Parker role.
