Shark Beach with Chris Hemsworth

Matt Roush says...

A highlight of last year’s SharkFest on National Geographic, this rebroadcast is a natural for a prime-time network spotlight, riding the formidable coattails of the release of Thor: Love and Thunder. Chris Hemsworth is in his native Australia studying the science of shark behavior after an upsurge in local shark attacks. With conservationist Valerie Taylor as his guide, the actor takes a deep dive into the world of sharks to learn of new technologies and measures that could help stem human-shark interactions. Followed, naturally, by two episodes of Shark Tank at 9/8c and 10/9c. Meanwhile, original episodes of this year’s SharkFest continue, including Shark Queens (9/8c, National Geographic), a study of the female of the species, exploring whether they or their male counterparts rule the ocean. Followed by Baby Sharks (10/9c), which tracks the survival instincts of newly born sharks as they learn quickly to fend for themselves.
