SHARKFEST is hitting the open waters with the longest SharkFest ever from July 7^th – August 4^th. Back again with more enthralling, thrilling and informative shark-infested content, this year scientists deploy state-of-the-art tech to unpack new and dynamic shark behavior. From the Eastern Great White nursery just outside New York City to the 360-degree analysis of a shark, and the return of Shark Beach this time featuring Captain America himself, Anthony Mackie, SHARKFEST continues to shock and awe viewers with man filming firsts while showcasing the science, power and beauty of the earth’s fiercest fish.

Full SHARKFEST 2024 Lineup:

Shark Beach with Anthony Mackie: Born and raised fishing the waterways of New Orleans, Anthony Mackie explores the growing rumors that shark encounters may be on the rise in the Gulf of Mexico. With a team of shark experts Anthony sets off to explore the latest science that may help both humans and sharks coexist in the great state of Louisiana.

Man vs. Shark with Ross Edgley: Ultra-marathon swimmer and shark advocate Ross Edgley attempts to pit his mind and body against the most formidable predator in the ocean…the shark. Testing the limits of his speed, strength, hydrodynamics and endurance, Ross will attempt g-force turn radius like a hammerhead shark, challenge himself to Polaris jump like a great white shark and push himself to swim at the incredible speed of a mako shark all to understand how these amazing animals thrive.

Baby Sharks in the City: Shark biologists have discovered the nursey of the Atlantic great white, and it’s right off New York City! Now, they’re about to deploy a state-of-the-art camera tag to reveal the secret life of the baby great white for the first time, and to study how climate change may be impacting the future of the Atlantic great white.

Attack of the Red Sea Sharks: Sharks have killed 3 tourists in Egypt in less than a year. Could mounting pressure from humans be altering how these predators live and hunt? And perhaps more concerning, are these attacks part of a global trend?

Supersized Sharks: Norfolk Island – 800 miles from mainland Australia – is home to the largest Tiger Sharks on Earth – growing up to 16 feet long (4 feet larger than the average Tiger). Adam Barnett joins fellow shark experts Lauren Myer and Charlie Huveneers on an expedition to try and find out why these giants Down Under are super sized.

Shark Attack 360: The Shark Attack 360 team of experts hunt for clues to investigate why sharks bite humans, and to unravel the surprising threads that link each encounter. As the evidence mounts, they analyze the data in their cutting edge VFX shark lab to understand, in forensic detail, why sharks attack.

Sharks Gone Viral: Grab your life vests and hold on to your feeds! Comedians Helen Hong, Keon Polee, and the Sklar Brothers deep dive into the Internet’s wildest shark videos – from lightning-fast shark attacks to sharks living on a golf course – while a panel of experts explore the science behind social media’s most influential fish.
