Shark Week Returns: Dive into New Ocean Adventures

Shark Week has returned to Discovery Channel for its 38th annual celebration, commencing on Sunday, July 26, and continuing through Saturday, Aug. 1. This year's event features 20 all-new specials delving into various aspects of shark life, including their behavior, conservation efforts, and the broader field of ocean science.

The programming lineup includes a diverse range of topics. 'K-Pop Shark Heroes' challenges misconceptions about sharks in East Asia, while 'Air Jaws: Red, White and Breach' examines great white shark breaches near the U.S. coast. Researchers are also exploring off Nova Scotia for a potentially record-breaking great white in 'Invasion of the Mega Sharks.'

Further into the week, 'Jurassic Sharks' will utilize CGI and expeditions to study ancient species. 'Jaws vs Orca' investigates the growing evidence of killer whales preying on great whites, and 'How to Train a Great White' tests the predators' learning capabilities. The event concludes with 'Great White Highway,' tracking migrating great whites along the East Coast, and 'Thresher Shark: Stun to Kill,' detailing their hunting methods.

For those without traditional cable, Shark Week can be streamed live via Sling TV, available in Sling Blue and Sling Orange + Blue packages. Additionally, Discovery+ can be added to Sling subscriptions, offering on-demand access to Shark Week programming for $5.99 per month (ad-supported) or $9.99 per month (ad-free).
