Shark Week is officially here, which means we get to pay tribute to one of the world’s most majestic creatures by enjoying a week filled with entertaining shark-themed programming!

Since 1988, Shark Week (which was created by Tom Golden at the Discovery Channel) has kept viewers engaged with a variety of engaging television programs that range from documentaries and 3D segments to celebrity guest hosts and more. It’s also devoted to conservation efforts and educating the public about sharks, and is broadcast in over 72 countries.

Shark Week 2020 kicked off on August 9 and runs through August 16. This year, it promises an even more awesome lineup of shows for fans that will include innovative shark research technology, celebrity guests like Mike Tyson and Will Smith, and will take viewers to Australia, South Africa, and New Zealand in search of some of the world’s most compelling shark stories. It airs on the Discovery Channel, but those without cable can tune in on fuboTV, which is currently offering a 7-day free trial.
