Summer is the right time to appreciate sharks. Pop culture has always intrinsically understood that, whether it was Steven Spielberg creating the summer blockbuster with Jaws in 1975 or Discovery Channel creating the couch potato with Shark Week in 1988.
The summer of 2020, however, stands to be the best time for these dead-eyed elasmobranch fish monsters in a long time. The coronavirus pandemic has beaches sparsely populated and sharks’ reign as king of the seas more unquestioned than ever. National Geographic is going to do its part to celebrate the summer of the shark with a five-week supersized Sharkfest of shark-related programming.
Nat Geo’s Sharkfest kicks off on Sunday, July 12 on National Geographic. Then National Geographic and its animal-imprint Nat Geo Wild will continue to air shark content from the networks’ existing library along with new specials several nights a week until concluding on Sunday, August 2.
Last year’s Sharkfest amounted to three weeks of programming.
