The sharks are back – and they have a global agenda. Universal Networks has confirmed all Syfy channels across the world including Australia will premiere Sharknado 2: The Second One within 24 hours of the July 30 premiere on Syfy US.
As previously announced, Ian Ziering (Beverly Hills 90210) and Tara Reid (American Pie) will reprise their roles as Fin and April while new cast members include Judah Friedlander (30 Rock), Mark McGrath (Sugar Ray lead singer), Kari Wuhrer (Sliders) and Vivica A. Fox (Kill Bill, Independence Day). Previously announced cameos include Kelly Osbourne (Fashion Police), Judd Hirsch (Numb3rs) and Andy Dick (NewsRadio).
International Syfy viewers in 86 countries outside the US – including Australia, Asia, France, Germany, Iberia, the UK and Latin America – will all be able to tune in to the eagerly awaited Sharknado sequel from Syfy and The Asylum.
“Wherever possible we like to ensure that our international Syfy channels premiere big event programs alongside the US,” commented Steve Patscheck, Executive Vice President, Programming, Universal Networks International. “Based on the breakout success of the original – and the instant swell of enthusiasm on social media – we wanted to make Sharknado 2 an immediate experience for international Syfy viewers from Europe and Latin America to Asia Pacific.”
Anthony C. Ferrante will return to direct the sequel from a screenplay by Thunder Levin, who also penned the original telepic which chomped through social media in July 2013.
In Sharknado 2: The Second One, a freak weather system turns its deadly fury on New York City, unleashing a Sharknado on the population and its most cherished, iconic sites – and only Fin and April can save the Big Apple.
Sharknado 2: The Second One – Thursday, July 31 at 11.30am on Syfy, on Foxtel & Fetch TV. Encore Screening at 9.30pm
