'Sharknado 5' is here to destroy the world
As if the world didn't have enough to worry about, Syfy has greenlit Sharknado 5, and this time, the fish-flinging action is going fin-ternational. (Get it?)
Ian Ziering and Tara Reid will reprise their shark-fighting roles as Fin Shepard and April Wexler in the sequel, along with Cassie Scerbo, who is set to return as Nova, a bartender turned badass Sharknado fighter.
The latest installment in the surprisingly resilient franchise sees the deadly weather phenomenon of shark-infested storms bombard cities around the world, and will film in more than 5 countries, including the UK and Australia.
Anthony C. Ferrante, who directed the first four films, is back at the helm, based on a script by Scotty Mullen.
According to a release from Syfy, with much of North America lying in ruins, the rest of the world braces for the inevitable – a global sharknado. Fin Shepard and his family must put a stop to this disaster before Earth is completely obliterated.
A release date for the new TV movie has yet to be announced, but since the previous four installments premiered in July, that seems like a safe bet for this year's dose of climatic carnage.
