How to Watch Shark Week 2021

It’s not summer without Shark Week, and just like that, the iconic Discovery TV event is back for another round. Last night kicked off the very first day of Shark Week, the annual marathon of shark-centric shows, movies and documentaries. This year, Shark Week is featuring content from comedian Tiffany Haddish, country star Brad Paisley, actor William Shatner, and more.

Discovery has a stacked lineup in store, with over 30 hours in total making up Shark Week 2021. Don’t miss Stranger Sharks, the Stranger Things-themed special, or The Real Sharknado, featuring Sharknado stars Ian Ziering and Tara Reid. And if you’re here more for the sharks than the spectacle, Discovery is also airing Mothersharker, an investigation into where tiger sharks give birth, and Return to the Lair of the Great White, a look into the life of one of the ocean’s fiercest predators.
