It ain’t summer without Syfy’s guilty pleasure “Sharknado” on the air.
With today being May 4th, the cabler has revealed the official movie poster and its first wave of cameos for the next installment in the series titled, SHARKNADO: THE 4TH AWAKENS!
With sharknados back in full force, it’s only natural that Fin Shepard (Ian Ziering) would need to enlist help from some new friends in his tireless fight to protect the world from the sharknado menace…
Among those making cameos in SHARKNADO: THE 4TH AWAKENS this summer are (in alphabetical order):
• Cynthia Bailey (“The Real Housewives of Atlanta”), Robert Herjavec (“Shark Tank”), Kym Johnson (“Dancing with the Stars”), Carrie Keagan (TV host), T’Keyah Crystal Keymah (“In Living Color”) and “Baywatch” stars Gena Lee Nolin and Alexandra Paul as Astro-X rocket scientists and astrophysicists
• Benjy Bronk (“The Howard Stern Show”) as a morning show host
• Duane Chapman (“Dog the Bounty Hunter”) as a chainsaw dealer
• Stacey Dash (actress and pundit) as the Mayor of Chicago
• Jay DeMarcus (Rascal Flatts) as manager of the Shark World hotel
• David Faustino (“Married with Children”) as a Las Vegas gambler
• Lori Greiner (“Shark Tank”) as a home shopping guru
• Frank Mir (MMA fighter) as head of security for the Shark World hotel
• Vince Neil (Motley Crue), Wayne Newton (aka Mr. Las Vegas) and Todd, Savannah and Grayson Chrisley (“Chrisley Knows Best”) as themselves
• Dr. Drew Pinsky (“Loveline”) as a pastor
• Patti Stanger (“Millionaire Matchmaker”) as a reporter
• Corey Taylor (Slipknot) as a Shark World hotel security guard
More cameos will be announced at a later date.
SHARKNADO: THE 4th AWAKENS takes place five years after the East Coast was ravaged in last summer’s SHARKNADO 3: OH HELL NO!. Fin (Ziering), his family and the cosmos have been blissfully sharknado-free in the intervening years, but now sharks – and ‘nados! – are being whipped up in places (and ways) least expected.
Tara Reid is also set to return as April Wexler to reveal the outcome of the fan-voted #AprilLives or #AprilDies social campaign. David Hasselhoff (as Gil Shepard) and Ryan Newman (as Claudia Shepard) will also reprise their SHARKNADO 3 roles. New additions to the SHARKNADO: THE 4TH AWAKENS cast include Gary Busey, Tommy Davidson, Imani Hakim, Cody Linley, Masiela Lusha and Cheryl Tiegs.
Check back later this summer as we hope to have some interview coverage from the San Diego Comic-Con.
SHARKNADO: THE 4TH AWAKENS, premieres Sunday, July 31 at 8PM on Syfy.
