Shakr Week 2023 premiered on July 23, 2023, on Discovery. The highly-anticipated week-long television programming block will air episodes on the channel and will be available to stream on HBO Max. This year, the event will provide a “first-time, close-up look at a great white shark feast captured by researchers with cameras inside a whale carcass decoy” as well as reveal what happens to sharks that feed on cocaine and drugs dumped in the ocean.

Jason Momoa will be hosting the 2023 edition of Shark Week and lead the 35th year as the master of ceremonies. “As the host of Shark Week, I am beyond excited to take you along on this journey. This project means more to me than a week of talking about sharks. It’s a chance for me to learn and share my connection to these amazing creatures,” the Aquaman star said.
