There’s sex, sand and swimsuits in the trailer for Fox’s “Baywatch” reboot, which premieres on the network in January.

The three-minute clip opens with series star Stephen Amell leading a rescue mission after a plane collides with a parasail. Amell plays a grown-up version of Hobie Buchannon, the wild child from the original 1990s series. The series follows Hobie, now a Baywatch Captain, following in the footsteps of his father, Mitch, while his world is turned upside down by the surprise arrival of Charlie (Jessica Belkin), the daughter he never knew. Eager to carry on the family legacy, Charlie strives to become a Baywatch lifeguard alongside her dad.
