Olivia Dunne Shares Swimsuit-Filled ‘Baywatch’ Recap in Honor of Season 1 Wrapping

That’s a wrap on Season 1 of Baywatch! The Fox reboot has officially finished filming it’s first season, which is set to premiere on the network in January 2027. And yesterday, SI Swimsuit model Olivia Dunne, who portrays junior lifeguard Grace in the series, shared a carousel of images from set with her 5.1 million Instagram followers in celebration of the project wrapping.
“officially off duty… season 1 it’s been real ;) 🎞️🛟,” the former LSU gymnast captioned the first pic in her photo dump on Thursday, Aug. 6. Dunne stood against a gorgeous beach backdrop as she posed in an iconic red one-piece.
The rest of Dunne’s carousel featured candid snaps with her costars, including Jessica Belkin and Hassie Harrison, the latter of whom she affectionately referred to as “Mama” in the photo’s caption. The 23-year-old New Jersey native also included a flick of herself sitting outside her trailer and concluded her carousel by posing in front of a Baywatch sign.
Clearly, Dunne’s fans are excited to see the content creator and former athlete make her acting debut, as many followers chimed into the comments section with glee.
“Yes ma’am!! Can’t wait to watch!! 🤩,” one person cheered.
“love you twin it’s been real 🏄🏼♀️💓💓🌸,” Belkin wrote.
“Love you beauty!!!! ❤❤❤,” Harrison staetd.
“yess 🔥🔥🔥,” the official Baywatch account added.
“U are perfect,” fellow SI Swimsuit model Katie Austin gushed.
“Congrats on the wrap 👏🥳 Can’t wait,” another comment read.
Just before it was announced that Dunne had joined the cast of Baywatch earlier this year, Dunne teased her acting aspirations in a conversation with People. “One thing people would be surprised about is that I take acting lessons—and I really love it,” she stated. “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; school and sports, but really gymnastics was my main focus.”
Also making her scripted series debut in the forthcoming Baywatch reboot is SI Swimsuit legend Brooks Nader, who will play Selene, captain of the Zuma Beach lifeguards. The 29-year-old Baton Rouge native has been sharing plenty of behind-the-scenes content from set as well, including a photo dump of her own late last month showcasing her red swimsuit.
Nader documented her final day on set yesterday through her Instagram story, sharing that her parents came to visit her on location for the milestone. “Selene OUT!!! See you in JAN! ❤️❤️,” she wrote atop a photo of herself posing outside her trailer.
While Fox hasn’t revealed the premiere date just yet, stay tuned! Baywatch will drop in early 2027.
