High tide is going to last longer than we thought: Fox has ordered seven more episodes of its upcoming lifeguard drama Rescue: Hi-Surf, TVLine has learned. This brings the total order up to 19 episodes.

Rescue: Hi-Surf, which earned a series order at Fox last year and is set to debut during the 2024-25 TV season, “is an action-packed drama that follows the personal and professional lives of the heavy-water lifeguards who patrol and protect the North Shore of O’ahu — the most famous and dangerous stretch of coastline in the world,” the official description. “Each episode will feature these dedicated, heroic, and adrenaline-seeking first-responders saving lives in the difficult and often life-threatening conditions of Hawaii’s Seven Mile Miracle.”

The cast includes Arielle Kebbel (9-1-1, Ballers) as Emily “Em” Wright, the first female lieutenant in Ocean Safety history, as well as a record-setting paddler and surfer. Robbie Magasiva (Wentworth) plays captain Sonny Jennings, who’s mourning the death of his nephew, and Adam Demos (Sex/Life) plays Will Ready, a good-natured Australian surfer who’s ready for anything the ocean throws at him. Rounding out the ensemble are Kekoa Kekumano (The White Lotus), Alex Aiono (Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin) and Zoe Cipres (Roswell, New Mexico).

Matt Kester (Animal Kingdom) will serve as writer and showrunner, with television vet John Wells (ER, The West Wing) on board as an executive producer.
