All hail the King of Atlantis! Yes, Aquaman star Jason Momoa will be presiding over Shark Week this year, introducing viewers to over 20 hours of fin-tastic new programming featuring those fascinating, toothy predators that dwell in our oceans. With unbelievable exposés (*gulp*. Cocaine Sharks!), and ground-breaking wildlife footage (Alien Sharks: Strange New Worlds), cancel your plans for late July and settle in for seven awesome days of shark-related shows.
Beginning in 1988 and featuring documentaries, miniseries, celebrity specials, and many hairy encounters with fearsome great whites, Shark Week has become something of a Discovery Channel institution – so much so that it was even name-checked in The Meg, the 2018 creature feature about the largest shark to have ever existed.
Providing a deep dive on the existence of that 50-foot beast, this year’s Jaws vs the Meg (Sunday, July 23 at 9pm ET) will see scientists debating the reason for its extinction over 3 million years ago, floating the theory that Great Whites were responsible for its demise.
In a Shark Week first, meanwhile, viewers will find themselves at the center of an attack to a life-sized whale decoy in Belly of the Beast: Feeding Frenzy (Sunday night at 8pm), with camera’s capturing the assault by a shiver of ferocious sharks.
If you want to see more buzzed apex predators after Cocaine Bear, then strap yourself in for Cocaine Sharks (Wednesday, 10pm). Think «Scarface by the Sea» as Tom Hird investigates what happens when these elasmobranch fish imbibe large quantities of the Class A drug in the waters off the Florida Keys.
Blood in the Water will explore why Florida is known as the Shark Attack Capital of the World, and Forrest Galante will go Down Under to discover whether sea snakes might be killing off Western Australia’s tiger sharks in Shark vs Snake: Battle of the Bites on Thursday, July 27 at 10pm.
Prepare to take a bite out of the packed Discovery Channel schedule as we explain in our guide below how to watch Shark Week 2023 online from anywhere.
