It's not mentioned in the HR article, but Amell's character is meant to be the son of The Hoff's character from the original run (previously played by Jeremy Jackson), so the implication is that this is a continuation of the original series' timeline, not a full reboot. (And, presumably, that Hasselhoff could show up as Emperor of LA County Beaches or something.)
