Sharknado Origins Will Show How Fin and April Survived Their First Sharknado, and It Arrives in July 2027

Sharknado is coming back, and this time it’s a prequel. Sharknado Origins is headed to screens in July 2027.

The film was announced a year ago, in November 2025, and it’s still on the way.

Sharknado Origins will reportedly focus on how Fin (originally played by Ian Ziering) and April (originally played by Tara Reid) first meet, and how they survived their first Sharknado together. This will be the seventh main Sharknado movie, though there are spin-offs and a crossover movie as well.

Sharknado Origins is from The Asylum, a studio known for mockbusters and super-cheap and silly genre movies. Anthony C. Ferrante is back to direct his seventh Sharknado. The cast has not been announced.
