“I’ve lived on the North Shore of O’ahu for most of my life, and these are our heroes, the most extraordinary extreme athletes anywhere,” said Kester in a press release.

“Rescue: HI-Surf brings an edge-of-your-seat style to the North Shore of Hawaii, where lifeguards and surfers collide with visceral rescues, great character drama and all-around fun,” said Michael Thorn, President of Scripted Programming, FOX Entertainment. “This new franchise is pure beachfront property for FOX, especially with the powerful auspices of John, Matt and our incredible partners at Warner Bros.”

The all-new series will have a special premiere on Sunday, September 22 at 8pm Eastern Time, following the NFL on FOX doubleheader. It will then air in its normal Monday night timeslot beginning on Monday, September 23 at 9pm ET, following the 9-1-1: Lonestar season 5 premiere.
