This Year’s “Shark Week” Features 18 New Programs Including an Original Scripted Shark Attack Movie!
For the 31st year(!), Discovery Channel’s week-long celebration known as “Shark Week” is once again swimming our way very soon, set to kick off on Sunday, July 28th.
We’ve learned some pretty exciting news about “Shark Week” 2019 from EW today, with the site announcing that the first-ever “Shark Week” original movie is coming this year!
Airing on Wednesday, July 31, 9 p.m. ET, Capsized: Blood in the Water stars Josh Duhamel, and it’s based on the harrowing true story of an October 1982 shark encounter.
“After a yacht bound for Florida capsizes during an unexpected storm, its crew is left to drift for days in the chilling waters of the Atlantic where they become prey to a group of tiger sharks. With the hope of rescue dwindling, the crew must do everything in their power to survive as the sharks continue to hunt them.”
18 new original programs will air as part of “Shark Week” this year, including “Expedition Unknown: Megalodon,” “Sharks of the Badlands,” “The Sharks of Headstone Hell,” “Air Jaws Strikes Back,” “Return to Shark Island,” “Sharks Gone Wild 2” and “Shark Week Immersion.”

Today, Prime Video announced that Emily Mortimer (Relic), Manny Jacinto (The Acolyte), and Thomasin McKenzie (Victorian Psycho, Eileen) have joined the cast of Season Three of Fallout.
The hit series begins production on its third season this month in Los Angeles.
The series based on the video games tells “the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have. Two hundred years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind—and are shocked to discover an incredibly complex, gleefully weird, and highly violent universe waiting for them.“
The series stars Ella Purnell (Yellowjackets, Sweetpea), Aaron Moten (Emancipation, Father Stu), Walton Goggins (The White Lotus, The Righteous Gemstones), Kyle MacLachlan (Twin Peaks), Moisés Arias (The King of Staten Island), Frances Turner (The Boys), Annabel O’Hagan (Rent Free), and Dave Register (FBI).
Aaron Paul (Anything But Ghosts) has also joined the cast for Season Three, as previously announced.
Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner serve as executive producers, creators, and showrunners.
Catch up on both seasons ahead of Season Three on Prime Video now.
