In what the channel is calling a first, which is saying something for a franchise in its 38th year, a Shark Week special uses cutting-edge CGI tech to reimagine life under the seas in the prehistoric Jurassic era. In Jurassic Sharks, the first of three new Tuesday offerings, footage from modern expeditions blends with CGI recreations to depict shark activity from a far-distant time. Followed by the more contemporary Jaws vs. Orca (9/8c), in which Dr. Tristan Guttridge investigates attacks on great whites by killer whales, who are also ramming vessels in the Strait of Gibraltar. The evening ends with Chum Island: Catching a Killer (10/9c), set on Australia’s southern coast, where marine biologist Dr. Riley Elliott creates a “chum island” lure to discover which sharks are behind a series of aggressive attacks.
