There were several additions made to the cast of Sharknado 2, Syfy announced on Wednesday. Mark McGrath, Vivica A. Fox, Kelly Osbourne, Andy Dick, Judd Hirsch and Judah Friedlander were brought on board the sequel.

The new additions will join Tara Reid and Ian Ziering who signed on to return to the sequel at the end of January.

This time the film will follow the tornado of sharks that is now wrecking havoc upon New York City and terrorizing the California coast in the original.

According to Deadline, Sharknado 2 will be directed by Anthony Ferrante who was behind the helm for the first film. Scribe Thunder Levin also returned to write the screenplay.

Fox was tapped to play Ziering's Fin's friend from high school, while McGrath will be his brother-in-law. Dick will be playing a cop, Osbourne will be a flight attendant, Friedlander will be someone named Brian and Hirsch will be a taxi driver.

Production on Sharknado 2 is marked to begin next week.
