More About National Geographic Sharkfest 2023
National Geographic has an exciting lineup of programs for Sharkfest 2023, and Return of the White Shark is just one of them. On the first night, viewers can enjoy thrilling shows such as Bull Shark Bandits, Shark Eat Shark, and Saved from a Shark.

Day three offers more excitement with When Sharks Attack 360, Shark Below Zero, and Sharkano: Hawai’i. The event continues throughout July, promising even more captivating programming.
Sharks have often suffered from a negative reputation, partly due to the lasting impact of movies like Jaws. While safety precautions are important when humans and sharks share the same space, shark attacks are actually quite rare. These magnificent creatures play a vital role in the ecosystem. The appearance of great white sharks near Cape Cod, although initially concerning, could actually be beneficial for the area's ecological balance, an aspect that Return of the White Shark aims to explore.
Nat Geo's annual programming event Sharkfest kicks off July 2. Return of the White Shark premieres July 3 at 9/8c.
