Shark Week 2025 has officially begun, captivating audiences with its 37th anniversary lineup, full of record-breaking shows and exciting new formats. This year, Discovery Channel has expanded its programming to include innovative content that highlights the importance of shark conservation while still providing entertaining narratives. Airing nightly at 8 p.m. ET/PT and available for streaming on HBO Max, Shark Week continues to be a summer highlight for millions of viewers.
New Programming for an Engaging Experience
The first night featured the highly anticipated “Dancing With Sharks,” an underwater dance competition hosted by Tom Bergeron. This unique show aims to connect viewers with the natural grace of sharks in a creative, fun way. Other programs include “Air Jaws: The Hunt for Colossus,” which searches for a legendary great white shark, and “Great White Sex Battle,” exploring the behavioral patterns of sharks during mating season.
Raising Awareness While Entertaining
While Shark Week is known for its dramatic portrayals of shark encounters, this year’s programming has a significant focus on raising awareness about the threats these creatures face in the wild. Experts believe that these sensationalized portrayals, when coupled with solid conservation messaging, can inspire viewers to better understand and protect these apex predators.
Stream Shark Week from Anywhere
For those without traditional cable subscriptions, Shark Week 2025 is available on streaming platforms such as SlingTV, Hulu + Live TV, and YouTube TV. International audiences can also access the event by using a VPN, ensuring that Shark Week’s global reach remains unaffected by geographical barriers.
