"Make America Bait Again!"

This is the tagline for the fifth flick in the SHARKNADO series. The tagline is the result of a fan-sourced social initiative launched back in April where SyFy invited fans to submit their most creative and outrageous ideas via an interactive bot… and "Make American Bait Again!" is the best we came up with. The irony is astounding.

Anyhow, SYFY and The Asylum have just revealed the title of the fifth SHARNADO movie and it is about as camp as one would imagine. Turns out the fifth flick will be called SHARKNADO 5: GLOBAL SWARMING and will be premiering on the SyFy channel Sunday, August 6th at 8 pm.

Cameos announced today include: Fabio (Model) as the Pope, Tony Hawk, Clay Aiken, Olivia Newton-John, Bret Michaels, Margaret Cho, Charo as The Queen of England, Gilbert Gottfried, Al Roker, Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb as themselves, Greg Louganis, Tom Daley as himself, Gus Kenworthy, Jeff Rossen, Porsha Williams, Tiffany "New York" Pollard, Chris Kattan, Cat Greenleaf, Dan Fogler, Ross Mullan and many more…

Let us know what you think of the new title, the tagline, and the SHARKNADO series in general on Facebook, Twitter, and/or Instagram!
