“Sharknado” — the hit B-movie franchise that supposedly wrapped in 2018 after six increasingly ludicrous installments — is coming back for more cheesy insanity, Variety can reveal.
The Asylum, which landed an unexpected hit with its low-budget thriller about a tornado that sucked up great whites and hammerheads and spat them out over Los Angeles, has announced that it is in development on “Sharknado Origins.” Production is slated to begin later this year with director Anthony Ferrante returning to the helm. Casting will be announced soon, with a summer 2026 release eyed.
As the title suggests, the film will take place before 2013’s first “Sharknado,” and is set to introduce audiences to a teenage Fin (played by Ian Ziering in the original six movies) and April (who was played by Tara Reid). The two cross paths during a perfect beach summer, where sparks immediately fly.
