We all saw this coming. SHARKNADO 3 has been confirmed by Syfy today in a press release touting the extraordinary ratings for last week’s SHARKNADO 2. But this has been on the network’s mind for a while: a few months ago, they basically said SHARKNADO would be an annual event. That means we’re not only getting SHARKNADO 3, but a never-ending franchise. What’s next, SHARKNADO: ORIGINS? SHARKNADO: REVELATIONS? I shudder.

SHARKNADO 3 airs in July.
