third season. In the first episode of the third season, Mitch and Hobie traveled into Northern California's rugged gold country, accompanied by lifeguards Eddie Kramer (Billy Warlock) and Shauni McClain (Erika Eleniak), to investigate the death of Mitch's uncle, who had been a long time prospector in the area. After finding an old treasure map, Mitch and his crew searched the area, enlisting the assistance of a white-water, river-rafting guide named C.J. Parker, who happened to be a former ocean lifeguard, and had previously worked with Mitch.

one. The spin-off series, "Baywatch Nights" aired for two seasons, starting in 1995.
As the plot of "Baywatch" revealed, police sergeant Garner Ellerbee (Gregory-Alan Williams), who had been a part of the series from the beginning, decided to quit his job as the resident LAPD beach police patrol officer and form a private detective agency. Mitch Buchannon joined the agency partly in support of his friend, and partly due to his own "midlife crisis". Mitch found himself working as a lifeguard by day and moonlighting as a private detective at night, thus the name of the series, "Baywatch Nights". The third detective on the team was Ryan McBride, played by Angie Harmon. "Baywatch" lifeguard Donna Marco (Donna D'Errico) was also part of the new cast, along with nightclub singer Louis Raymond, played by singer Lou Rawls.
Faced with low ratings after the first season, the producers chose to change the format of the show from a private detective series to a science fiction drama-mystery show, similar to that of the then popular series, "X-Files". For the second season, Garner Ellerbee was replaced by paranormal expert Diamond Teague, played by Dorian Gregory.
The series went into the second season with Mitch Buchannon, Ryan McBride, and Donna Marco. Other characters from "Baywatch" made guest appearances on the show, including Stephanie Holden (Alexandra Paul), Caroline Holden (Yasmine Bleeth), and Eddie Kramer (Billy Warlock).
The series was canceled at the end of the second season.
Plans for an Australian version of "Baywatch" to be called "Baywatch Down Under" were scrapped due to production cost, and objections from local residents who opposed the use of Australian beaches for filming.
