Discovery Channel’s <i> Shark Week in a Weekend </i> Begins April 4 1

SHARK WEEK, television’s longest-running, and most anticipated summer event will swim onto screens for a special weekend marathon featuring a line-up of fan-favorite episodes. The pop culture phenomenon will take viewers to oceans around the world with a team of renowned marine biologists and science institutions to deliver groundbreaking shark stories incorporating innovative research technology and revealing compelling insight into the mysterious world of sharks. From the coast of South Africa to islands in the Bahamas, SHARK WEEK IN A WEEKEND will bring the world to viewers at home while SHARK WEEK talent and scientists take on some of the most daring shark experiments ever attempted. The jawsome SHARK WEEK IN A WEEKEND marathon airs all day Saturday, April 4 beginning at 9:00 AM ET/PT and continues Sunday, April 5 from 9:00 AM ET/PT-8:00 PM ET/PT on Discovery Channel.

Discovery Channel will air SHARK WEEK’s first scripted feature-length film, CAPSIZED: BLOOD IN THE WATER on Saturday, April 4, at 9 PM ET/PT, based on the harrowing true story of an October 1982 shark encounter starring Josh Duhamel, Tyler Blackburn, Beau Garrett, Rebekah Graf, and Josh Close.

In addition, SHARK WEEK IN A WEEKEND will also check in with Shark After Dark‘s not-very-deep sea sidekick Bob the Shark, who’s dealing with his own underwater disaster: home-isolation with his family.

“I’m a shark. And sharks fear nothing. After a few weeks of home-isolation with my family, I stand corrected,” said Bob the Shark.
