Ready to dive into Shark Week? (Getty Images)Have you noticed the sharks are late this year? Shark Week 2025 finally splashed onto our screens this past Sunday, just in time for the hottest days of the year - the perfect time to sit inside with the AC blasting while you watch hours of new shark content every night, or go take a dip in the water yourself (if you're brave enough).
This year's week of shark-centric content, courtesy of the Discovery Channel, includes Dancing with Sharks, an "unprecedented" underwater dance competition between divers and their toothy dance partners. Dancing with the Stars alum Tom Bergeron hosts the Shark Week special. Tonight you can catch fin-tastic programs, Great White Reign of Terror, Florida's Death Beach and Bull Shark Showdown.
