Shark Week 2022 schedule: Your guide to all 23 specials

Have no fear (or you can have a little, it's okay): Shark Week is fast approaching your neck of the waters again.

The weeklong summer spectacle that goes deep on the ocean's apex predators returns to Discovery on July 24. The 34^th installment will transport you to the waters off of South Africa, Tahiti, Papua New Guinea, the Bahamas, and the Azores, while showing you exotic b(r)eaches and even some [doublechecks notes] walking sharks. And as usual, there will be a few celebrity sightings along the way. Dwayne Johnson will serve as Shark Week's first-ever master of ceremonies, the Jackass crew will try to help new cast member Poopies triumph over his aversion to the fearsome fish, and the man who once advised Kenneth on 30 Rock to "live every week like it's Shark Week" will be part of the finstivities: Yes, Tracy Morgan will host a special titled Tracy Morgan Presents: Sharks! with Tracy Morgan, in which Tracy Morgan will discuss Tracy Morgan's favorite types of sharks.
