Billed as “adrenaline-fuelled” and “challenge-heavy”, the series will whisk famous faces way to the shark capital of the world, the Bahamas. Here, they’ll be forced to come face-to-face with a variety of different shark species - from Hammerheads and Bull sharks to fearsome Tiger sharks.
With each dive bringing them alongside a bigger and more dangerous animal, celebs will counterbalance these nail-biting experiences with a series of tasks and challenges that aim to teach them important facts about the crucial role these creatures play within our oceans.
The show also aims to impart viewers with a range of key facts about how each shark hunts and lives, helping to realign the narrative surrounding animals that are often incorrectly referred to as nature’s “villains.”
Promising to educate as well as entertain, the show will be made by Plimsoll Productions, the same company behind National Geographic’s Disney+ series A Bug’s Life.
