Roderick will play the new female lead, Leigh Dyer. According to show executives, Roderick auditioned for a smaller role that was expanded after she excelled during the screen test.
Roderick's character is a lifeguard recruited by male lead Sean Monroe (Jason Brooks) for the "Baywatch Hawaii" lifeguard service and school.
In addition, writer-producer Frank South, who created Heather Locklear's character on "Melrose Place," is the show's new head writer and co-executive producer.
South has assembled the largest writing staff in "Baywatch" history. He said earlier that he plans to revitalize the show into one that's active emotionally and physically.
South has been successful in writing stories that appeal to the 18-49 demographics, said Joe Scotti, president of domestic distribution and marketing for Pearson Television North America.
According to Variety, "Baywatch" has earned an average household rating of 3.1 this season, down 6 percent compared with figures from a year ago.
The production is slated to begin in Hawaii, with shooting primarily on Oahu, in August.
It will be produced by Woo and partner Terence Chang, along with Alison Rosenzweig and Tracie Graham.
