National Geographic's annual "love letter" to all things sharks, Shark Fest will kick off on July 12 this year and last a full five weeks, compared to 2019's three-weeks-long programming.
The programming will first air on National Geographic for three weeks. Starting August 2, viewers will have to shift to Nat Geo Wild for another 14 days of underwater predators.
As for specifics regarding the content, you're in for 17 original shows plus a ton of more stuff from the channel's archives. According to National Geographic's website, viewers will also be treated to "the latest insights from the top shark researchers [and] a comprehensive look at the many species in all their glory."
Original shows include World's Biggest Tiger Shark?, a journey led by marine biologist Kori Garza and Emmy Award-winning cinematographer Andy Casagrande as they travel to a remote lagoon in French Polynesia to look for Kamaki, the world's largest living tiger shark.
Most Wanted Sharks is another notable standout set to follow marine biologist and shark suit inventor Jeremiah Sullivan as he travels around the world to get up close and personal with the world's largest and most famous sharks.
Get comfortable on that couch, the sharks are coming.
