More recently she appeared opposite Jai Courtney in the thriller Dangerous Animals, which premiered at Cannes Film Festival in 2025.
Per Deadline, she recently finished working on Deep Eddy, which was based in Austin, Texas and followed a writer in search of his kidnapped girlfriend.
The outlet reported that she's now filming The Rescue, a Western thriller from Paramount, co-starring Brandon Sklenar.
Next on her docket is another thriller, Raven, which will also star Anthony Mackie, Pablo Schreiber, Ben Foster, and Ron Livingston.
The new Baywatch iteration will air for 12 episodes.
The show, which ran from 1989 to 2001, followed the lives of a group of lifeguards who patrol the beaches in Los Angeles.
It starred David Hasselhoff in the lead role of Mitch Buchanan and also made a star out of Pamela Anderson who played C.J. Parker.
Although it consistently received negative reviews from critics, Baywatch was a hit with viewers and became the most-watched TV show in the world during its run.

For its final two years on air, the show was retitled Baywatch: Hawaii, with future movie star Jason Momoa joining the cast.
In a statement to Variety last fall, Michael Thorn, President of Fox Television Network, said: 'In its first run, Baywatch defined an entire era of beach life and elevated lifeguards to an iconic status. Now, with our partners at Fremantle, this television juggernaut is set for a modern-day comeback.
'Together, Fox and Fremantle, along with Matt Nix and original co-creator Greg Bonann, will bring the California dream to a whole new generation of fans with fresh stories, rising stars and all the spectacle that make the Baywatch franchise a global sensation.'
The reboot will follow Hobie as he plays a Baywatch Captain, just like his iconic father Mitch.
Things are shaken up when his daughter Charlie arrives in hopes to continue the family legacy.
