- He will play Ebon, a rough-around-the-edges Boston guy who spends his summers among the blue-blooded elite, captaining a charter boat for senators and celebrities. After a heartbreaking loss, he's back on Martha's Vineyard to make money, not to make friends.

- Nader will play Selene, the sharp-tongued Captain of the Zuma Beach lifeguards. While she is excellent at her job, she and Baywatch Captain Hobie Buchannon (Amell) have a very different approach to saving lives that is a constant source of friction. Never on good terms, their relationship only goes downhill after Hobie brings his daughter, Charlie (Jessica Belkin), onto his team... and it becomes clear that their rivalry goes much deeper than lifeguarding.
- Beck will play Luke, a rookie lifeguard, and the youngest in a family of firefighters who chose the beach over the firehouse. He is the ultimate charming SoCal beach boy, a surfer and a flirt, but when it comes to saving lives, he's one of the best.
