No matter how you feel about Syfy’s campy Sharknado series, it’s hard to argue with the success of the two-film series — a series that’s soon to become a trilogy.

This week, SyFy announced the official title for the upcoming third installment of the franchise, Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!, as well as the date and time that the menace of airborne, oceanic predators will once again be explored through the magic of low-budget cable television.

If you’re a Sharknado fan, you’ll want to set aside some time on July 22 at 9:00 p.m. EST for the premiere of Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! on SyFy, which will showcase the carnage that ensues when yet another storm filled with man-eating sharks threatens the country. This time around, however, the storm targets Washington D.C. — setting up a meeting between man-eating sharks in the sky and one of the most dangerous predators of them all: politicians.

Franchise stars Ian Ziering, Tara Reid, and Cassie Scerbo return for Sharknado 3, and they’re joined by a long list of familiar faces in supporting roles and cameo appearances. Among the new additions to the cast are David Hasselhoff, Bo Derek, Mark Cuban (as the President of the United States), Ann Coulter (as the Vice President), Michele Bachmann, Jerry Springer, *NSYNC singer Chris Kirkpatrick, and professional wrestler Chris Jericho.

“We wanted this third title to boldly go where no shark movie has gone before,” said SyFy’s Senior Vice President of Program Strategy, Chris Regina, in a statement accompanying the announcement. “Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! embraces the larger-than-life irreverence that has made these movies so popular and entertaining.”

Like its predecessors, Sharknado 3 will be directed by Anthony C. Ferrante.

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.

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.

If you fall into that second category, then we've pulled together a list of three great, underrated, titles available on Amazon Prime Video that are all worth checking out. Prime Video is home to some of the best movies available online, but it can be hard to find the ones you want. These three will at least give you a great place to start.

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.
