Shark Week 2024 hosted by John Cena: How to watch and what to know

Brace yourselves, shark fans — Shark Week 2024 has officially surfaced, and it's packing 20+ hours of jaw-dropping, fin-slapping, shark-tastic content! 🐋🦈

🎬 What's on the Menu?
Prepare for a smorgasbord of shark-centric spectacles like:
➡️ Belly of the Beast — because apparently, getting eaten by a shark isn’t just a bad day — it's a whole documentary.
➡️ Great White Serial Killer: Sea of Blood — sounds like Jaws went full-on crime thriller mode.
➡️ Monster Hammerheads: Species X — expect these hammerheads to flex their mega-shark energy.

🧑‍💼 Who's Hosting This Fin-tastic Frenzy?
None other than John Cena! The wrestling legend and TV host extraordinaire is trading the ring for the deep blue. “I usually watch Shark Week with snacks,” Cena joked, “but this year, I’m hosting the snack-packed shark-splosion!”

🐠 Cena's Mission: Bring the thrills, spills, and gills. Expect shocking new footage, fascinating discoveries, and — of course — lots and lots of teeth.

So grab your popcorn (or chum?), park yourself on the couch, and get ready for a week of shark-infested TV that’s sure to leave you gasping for air! 🫢
