‘Shark Beach with Chris Hemsworth’ Preview
Get ready for National Geographic’s ninth annual Sharkfest, Nat Geo’s answer to the Discovery Channel’s annual Shark Week. In 2021, Sharkfest is a six-week event “filled with action-packed, shark-infested programming that takes viewers up close and personal with one of nature’s most feared and often misunderstood predators,” according to Nat Geo’s press release.
The event will feature 60 hours of content across four networks: National Geographic, Nat Geo WILD, Nat Geo Mundo, and Disney XD, plus streaming content on Disney Plus.

This season, viewers can sink their teeth into hours of original programming featuring captivating science and stunning cinematic visuals of the iconic apex predator. Kicking off the shark celebration is the one-hour marquee event “Shark Beach with Chris Hemsworth,” where the global movie star embarks on a personal mission to investigate how we can live more harmoniously with sharks. This summer’s Sharkfest not only shines a light on the science of sharks, giving audiences a better understanding of the ocean’s top predator, but it also features their true beauty, power and mystery.
“Shark Beach with Chris Hemsworth” is a “one-hour documentary special from Nutopia (“One Strange Rock”)” that features “shark icon and conservationist Valerie Taylor, who takes Hemsworth for a shark dive to experience firsthand the awe and beauty of grey nurse sharks, and other preeminent shark experts who are exploring new preventative measures and the latest technology to help stave off shark-human encounters.”
Other marquee events during Sharkfest 2021 include “Shark Attack Investigation: The Paige Winter Story,” “Shark Attack Files,” “When Sharks Attack,” “Croc That Ate Jaws,” “Shark Gangs,” “Rogue Shark?” and “Eyewitness Shark: Fin Frenzy.”
“The mysteries of the ocean’s most iconic predators are so vast, even with eight years of shark-focused content under our belt, there still remains more to be discovered,” said Janet Vissering, senior vice president of Development and Production, National Geographic Partners, in a statement. “Like every year, shark scientists and oceanic experts have pulled out all the stops for this year’s Sharkfest, revealing new discoveries, shocking revelations and bizarre shark behavior never seen before. It’s going to be jaw-some!”
“Shark Beach with Chris Hemsworth” premieres Monday, July 5 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Nat Geo. The entirety of Sharkfest airs across Nat Geo, Nat Geo WILD, Nat Geo Mundo and Disney XD from July 5 to the middle of August.
