Shay Mitchell is heading to the beach.

Fox announced Wednesday that Mitchell has been cast in the Baywatch reboot as a series regular. She joins the show as Trina, a former lawyer who left a top-tier firm to become a full-time lifeguard.

Mitchell is best known for starring as Emily Fields across all seven seasons of Pretty Little Liars. In the shows first season which aired on ABC Family (now Freeform) her character came out as gay. Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter ahead of the series 15-year anniversary in June, Mitchell reflected on how the role helped advance LGBTQ+ representation on TV. Emily was such a trailblazer, especially at that time and on that network, she said. It was super important. That storyline is such a crucial one. I wish it had been a lot more common, but her character really started the conversation for so many people, and continues to.

Mitchell has also appeared in Netflixs You and Hulus Dollface. She is the founder and chief creative officer of travel and lifestyle brand Bis.

The upcoming Baywatch series will consist of 12 episodes and is slated to premiere during the 202627 season. The show hails from Fox Entertainment and Fremantle, which holds the rights to the original series.
