The Sharknado machine keeps chugging along, getting crazier with every turn. The latest news on the third installment of the franchise involves the casting of mercurial businessman Mark Cuban and controversial right-wing political commentator Ann Coulter in the upcoming film as President and VP respectively, according to Deadline.

The odd pairing will join returning cast members Ian Ziering, Tara Reid, and Cassie Scerbo, as well as a long list of familiar faces making cameos in the film that sees the recurring meteorological mass of airborne sharks lay waste to Washington, D.C. and much of the East Coast.

Thus far, the colorful cast of celebrities appearing in the film is known to include Bo Derek, Jerry Springer, Chris Kirkpatrick of *NSYNC, and professional wrestler Chris Jericho. Vanilla Ice has also been rumored for a role, though his involvement has not been confirmed.

Anthony C. Ferrante, who directed the first two films for the SyFy network will return for the third, along with franchise screenwriter Thunder Levin.

Now a bona fide viral sensation after two installments, the Sharknado franchise set records for Syfy as each installment broke the previously held viewership watermark for original movie audiences. Sharknado 2: The Second One is currently the most-watch Syfy original movie of all time.

While there’s no specific broadcast date set for Sharknado 3 yet, the film is expected to premiere in July.

3 underrated (HBO) Max movies you should watch this weekend (June 28-30)
A girl looks at a boy in House at the End of the Street.

June is surprisingly over, and with it, a great month for movies comes to a satisfactory close. You've probably watched Inside Out 2 or Bad Boys: Ride or Die or maybe even The Bikeriders. From blockbusters to indie fare, the theatrical movie business has been robust and healthy.

The same goes for streaming. Netflix had a big hit with Richard Linklater's Hit Man, while Amazon Prime Video recently premiered the latest bonkers season of The Boys. HBO and Max have been quieter, but their robust library speaks volumes to the streamer's high quality. The following three films are older, but are just as worth your time as new hits like House of the Dragon season 2.
The Skin I Live In (2011)

As we head toward the end of June, it's worth reflecting on how we want to spend the rest of summer. For some, that's going to mean enjoying nice weather or getting some time in at the beach. For others, it might mean escaping from the heat, at least for a while, to check out a great movie.

The best Netflix original series right now
Eric and Benedict Cumberbatch in Eric.

The era of Peak TV was also Peak Netflix, because the streamer seemingly had an endless supply of new original series. So far in 2024, that hasn't been the case. Whether we'll ever get the same level of content again seems unlikely for now. But even in a reduced capacity, Netflix still has a few new additions to its lineup of originals.

For the month of June, we're adding the '80s-set thriller, Eric, which stars Benedict Cumbebatch. Our other pick for the month is Supacell, which is Netflix's new British series that remixes some old superhero archetypes. That's not a very big selection for fans who always want something new, but this roundup of the best Netflix original series really does have all of the top options in one place for you. All you have to do is scroll down and make time to binge watch some shows.
