Shark Week 2023 with Jason Momoa: What channel and how to stream on Max, Discovery Plus

Get your snorkeling gear ready and cue the "Jaws" theme song — Shark Week is around the corner!

Discovery Channel's 35th annual Shark Week starts July 23 and will run until July 29, boasting a full schedule of shark content hosted by actor Jason Momoa ("Aquaman," DC's "Justice League").

Discovery officials wrote that Momoa will guide fans through nearly 20 new hours of television each night featuring the apex predators in their natural habitats across the globe.

"As the host of Shark Week, I am beyond excited to take you along on this journey,” Momoa said in a previously released statement. "This project means more to me than a week of talking about sharks. It’s a chance for me to learn and share my connection to these amazing creatures."

Attracting over 28 million viewers last year, Shark Week also will spotlight innovative technology used to track and study these unique shark species, as well as showcase the work of the world’s most respected marine biologists and science institutions.
