The sharks are coming back. SyFy and Asylum announced that the B-movie schlock fest of Starknado is getting a fourth movie and both Ian Ziering and Tara Reid will be back.
David Hasselhoff and Ryan Newman are also expected to return. The celebrities earning roles include Gary Busey, Black Dynamite’s Tommy Davidson, Imani Hakim from Everybody Hates Chris, Melissa & Joey’s Cody Linley, George Lopez’s Masiela Lusha and Cheryl Tiegs.
Busey is playing a robotics scientist, while Davidson is the CEO of Astro-X, which owns technology that can stop tornadoes. Linley will play Fin and April’s eldest son, while Hakim is his no-nonsense friend. Lusha is Fin’s cousin and Tiegs is Fin’s mother.
Sharknado 4 will be set five years after the events in Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!, in which the East Coast was attacked by a Sharknado.
The first Sharknado aired in 2013 and had sharks dropped on Los Angeles. It became a social media sensation, although not that many people really watched it. Sharknado 2: The Second One debuted in 2014 and had sharks attack New York City. Last year’s Oh Hell No! saw the rest of the East Coast devastated by sharks. Maybe this time, the sharks can take out their aggression somewhere else.
Since it doesn’t take too long to make these movies, Sharknado 4 will likely be ready for this summer.
