Picking up where 2011’s Emmy®-nominated Ultimate Air Jaws left off, shark expert Chris Fallows and legendary natural history producer Jeff Kurr embark on a quest to learn more about the great white sharks of Seal Island, South Africa – and one shark in particular, Colossus, in Air Jaws Apocalypse.
Kurr and his team push the envelope even further with new hair raising encounters… even if it means risking their lives for the ultimate close-up with the now legendary 14-foot great white. What they discover in this year-long filming expedition is a true scientific breakthrough: dozens of great whites clustered in shallow water, feeding on smaller sharks and rays — with Colossus dominating the grounds and nearly eating the camera.
And go behind the scenes to see the best bites in SHARK WEEK’S history. Get set to explore the marvels of Shark City with Chief Shark Officer Andy Samberg as he takes us on a tour of a mysterious underwater world tucked in the protected waters of the Bahamas, where it’s shark-eat-shark, and shark-eat-pretty much everything else too.
