National Geographic Launches Sharkfest with 25+ Hours Celebrating Jaws Anniversary

National Geographic's annual summer event, SharkFest, returns with over 25 hours of programming starting July 5, featuring a deeper exploration into the science, power, and beauty of sharks. The season kicks off with "Sharks Up Close with Bertie Gregory," following the Emmy- and BAFTA-winning filmmaker as he films great white sharks cage-free off South Africa's coast. Another highlight is the six-part series "Investigation Shark Attack," which delves into shark behavior through forensic analysis by scientists. "Super Shark Highway" explores shark migration routes in Australia to better understand human-shark interactions. Additionally, SharkFest celebrates the 50th anniversary of the blockbuster film "Jaws" with the authorized documentary "Jaws @ 50: The Definitive Inside Story," featuring exclusive interviews with Steven Spielberg and insights into the film's cultural impact. Programming will be available across National Geographic channels and streaming platforms such as Disney+ and Hulu, including a 24/7 live stream on YouTube.
