It's just not summer without Shark Week, which is back for the 35th straight year on Discovery.
While the sharks are undoubtedly the stars of Shark Week, Discovery always invites a few well-known celebrities to be a part of the festivities. This year the host is Jason Momoa, who has some experience with under the sea creatures as the star of Aquaman and its upcoming sequel, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.
Let's dive in to everything that we know right now about Shark Week 2023.

How to watch Shark Week 2023 in the US
Shark Week has been a staple of Discovery Channel for more than 30 years, so US viewers hoping to watch all the Shark-themed programming can do so on Discovery Channel. The cable network is available through traditional pay-TV providers, but live TV streaming services also carry the channel, including FuboTV, Hulu with Live TV, Sling TV and YouTube TV.
Those who have cut the cord on live TV can still keep up with Shark Week 2023, as the Discovery Plus and Max streaming services are going to have Shark Week programming available on their platforms.

Discovery is an available channel in the UK as well, available through the likes of Sky TV. The basic Sky TV package, which costs £26 per month, includes Discovery.
Discovery Plus is also available for UK consumers, so signing up for that streaming service will get you access to Shark Week 2023 content (though likely on a bit of a delay).
