Hold onto your shark hats, because Sharknado is back with a vengeance! The iconic whirlwind of teeth and fins strikes again in its seventh installment, Sharknado 7: Origins. The unstoppable B-movie powerhouse, The Asylum, is once again unleashing their genre-defying creation with a fresh twist: a dive into the origins of the notorious tornado-shark mash-up!
According to insiders from Variety, The Asylum is already sweeping the creative grounds for a jaw-dropping summer 2026 premiere! And guess who’s spinning back into the director’s chair? That’s right, Anthony Ferrante is bringing the storm to life once more, intent on weaving a tale of love and lunacy before the year’s close.
Get ready to travel back in time before the 2013 sensation snagged headlines. Sharknado Origins promises to take us to the eye of the storm, focusing on a young, starry-eyed Fin and April, long before their fate was sealed by the supernatural cyclone. Will iconic stars Ian Ziering and Tara Reid make a surprise appearance? The ocean of rumors will just have to churn a little longer for that reveal!
With a teaser that tantalizes, "nothing says young love like airborne predators," it's clear this prequel will mix romance with its trademark outlandish B-movie flair! Titles like Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! and Sharknado 5: Global Swarming set a high bar for hilarity and spectacle, and Sharknado 7: Origins is set to fly even higher!
Fin-atics recall the six movies that stormed viewers from 2013 to 2018, culminating with The Last Sharknado: It's About Time, but time wasn’t quite up on this fishy franchise. While details on its format remain elusive amid tidal waves of speculation, whether TV or on the big screen, it's slated to splash down before the close of summer 2026.
Meanwhile, why not sink your teeth into our curated list of shark-tacular movies that’ll leave you side-eyeing the sea! Dive into new depths of entertainment—just watch for flying sharks!
