Photo courtesy of Discovery NEW YORK, July 18 (UPI) -- Shark Week -- the annual summertime celebration of the toothy sea creatures -- kicks off Sunday on Discovery and Discovery+. The programming block contains nearly two dozen new documentaries. Highlights include: Sunday, July 20 Dancing with Sharks -- 8 p.m. EDT/PDT Hosted by Tom Bergeron and Kinga Philipps, this competition show challenges five divers to create movement routines with hammerheads, tigers and nurse sharks. "It's some of the world's best shark handlers, essentially dancing with sharks. This is going to be such a cool show because I think people don't really know to expect, so they're going to have to watch," Philipps told UPI in a recent Zoom interview. "Shark Week is a phenomenon. It's been going on for 37 years and it's this wonderful hodgepodge of entertainment and information." Air Jaws: The Hunt for Colossus -- 9PM EDT/PDT A crew looks for Colossus, a great white shark that went missing 10 years ago from South Africa's waters. Great White Assassins -- 10 p.m. EDT/PDT Alison Towner teams up with Dickie Chivell to decode how killer whales take down great whites in New Zealand. Monday, July 21 Great White Sex Battle -- 8 p.m. EDT/PDT Male and female great white sharks compete in a series of challenges to determine which sex is the superior predator. Jaws vs Mega Croc -- 9 p.m. EDT/PDT Tristan Guttridge, Rosie Moore and Dr. Sora Kim construct a CGI fight to the death between the great white shark and Nile crocodile. In the Eye of the Storm: Shark Storm -- 10 p.m. EDT/PDT A rare outbreak of shark attacks along America's gulf coast were captured on video in the summer of 2024. Tuesday, July 22 How to Survive a Shark Attack -- 9 p.m. EDT/PDT Shark attack survivor Paul de Gelder provokes sharks to charge him in various scenarios in an effort to teach viewers life-saving tactics. "My mom is going to kill me," laughed de Gelder, who lost his right hand and leg in a 2009 shark attack. "A lot of people are going to be sitting on the edges of their seats with a lot of anxiety," he added. "We try and teach people what to do if they get bitten or someone they're with gets bitten, what are the emergency procedures you need to take and, obviously, being Shark Week, I'm going to get attacked by the shark to make it as real as possible, so that's pretty wild." De Gelder said he hopes Shark Week viewers are inspired to explore the oceans themselves and that they develop respect for the creatures who inhabit them. "I grew up watching it and now I get to walk in the footsteps of my heroes and I don't think many people really get to do that in life and so I'm so blessed." Black Mako of the Abyss -- 10 p.m. EDT/PDT Shark Tagger Keith Poe, and experts Paul De Gelder and Kendyl Berna want to learn more about an aggressive, 13-feet long creature that could be a mako, a mutant or a mako/great white hybrid. "We came out to investigate why this shark looked so different than any other shark that any of us have seen out there and we came away with a few different theories," Berna said. "We don't fully have the entire answer yet, but it's still a really fun episode that investigates it and moves the needle forward on even just the existence of a shark that looks like this," she added. "There is so much left to be studied in the ocean. There is so much opportunity to learn there and sharks are all so different from each other. Some lay eggs. Some are live bearing. They've been around for 400 million years." Wednesday, July 23 Josh Gates solves strange and disturbing shark mysteries. Josh Gates, Phil Torres and Heather Amaro track a 20-foot-long predator in the waters of Malpelo Island, 300 miles off Colombia's coast. Forrest Galante injects himself with shark venom underwater to test the potency of the poisonous Port Jackson Shark and Ghost Shark. Thursday, July 24 Tom "Blowfish" Hird and Michelle Jewell separate fact from fiction in the 1975 movie, Jaws. Kinga Philipps hosts a clip show with hilarious and terrifying shark encounters captured on camera. "We're actually breaking down what happened in a situation -- the shark behavior, the human behavior, what went wrong, what maybe should have gone differently," Philipps said. Tristan Guttridge and his team use CGI to create the ultimate apex predator from a variety of shark species. Friday, July 25 Ryan Johnson, Gibbs Kuguru and Andy Casagrande want to know why two people were recently killed by sharks in the relatively safe waters off the coast of South Africa. Forrest Galante and his team explore why Florida -- specifically New Smyrna Beach -- has earned the title of "The Shark Attack Capital of the World." Paul de Gelder and Dr. Craig O'Connell try to determine which are meaner -- Australian or American bull sharks. Saturday, July 26 Kinga Phillips investigates why a rogue Tiger Shark attacked and killed a person in St. Martin. Giant Trevally battle sharks for domain of a hidden underwater peak off Mozambique's coast.

How to watch 'Shark Week' 2025 online — stream the TV event from anywhere, full schedule
Gorge yourself to the gills with "Shark Week", a 20-show feeding frenzy across seven nights. 'Great White Assassins' (Sunday, 10 p.m. ET/PT) and 'How to Survive a Shark Attack' (Tuesday, 9 p.m. ET/PT) sound like two of the standout shows. The former sees Dickie Chivell pose as an orca in order to provoke a fight-or-flight response from great whites; in the latter, shark attack survivor Paul de Gelder dons a range of prosthetic limbs and invites waves upon wave of attacks, in an effort to pinpoint effective strategies for surviving a shark encounter. Here's how to watch "Shark Week" 2025 online from anywhere with a VPN. ► U.S. date and time: "Shark Week" begins on Sunday, July 20 at 8 p.m. ET/PT. Full schedule at the bottom of this page.• U.S. — Watch on Discovery Channel via Sling / Max• Watch anywhere — try NordVPN If you'd like to sink into a story, 'Air Jaws: The Hunt for Colossus' (Sunday, 9 p.m. ET/PT), 'Black Mako of the Abyss' (Tuesday, 10 p.m. ET) and 'Alien Sharks: Death Down Under' (Wednesday, 10 p.m. ET) should scratch that itch. Colossus is a legendary 20-foot great white that was last seen a decade ago, the "black mako" is an unidentified hyper-aggressive species some suspect to be a mako/great white hybrid, and the so-called "alien sharks" include the venomous and little-known Port Jackson and ghost sharks. More sobering accounts come from 'In the Eye of the Storm: Shark Storm' (Monday, 10 p.m. ET/PT) and "Florida's Death Beach" (Friday, 9 p.m. ET/PT). In the former, a spate of shark attacks along America's gulf coast are dissected via first-hand accounts of victims and camera footage; the latter studies what makes Florida's New Smyrna Beach, the site of 30% of global shark attacks, the shark attack capital of the world. And you can get silly with 'Jaws vs Mega Croc' (Monday, 9 p.m. ET/PT), which stages a CGI fight to the death between a great white and a Nile crocodile, 'Frankenshark' (Thursday, 10 p.m. ET/PT), which stages a CGI fight ot the death between a super-charged shark and an orca, and 'Bull Shark Showdown' (Friday, 10 p.m. ET/PT), where de Gelder and biologist Dr. Craig O'Connell debate whether Australian or American bull sharks are more vicious.
