JASON MOMOA TO HOST DISCOVERY CHANNEL'S SHARK WEEK BEGINNING SUNDAY, JULY 23 AT 8PM ET/PT

Nearly 20 hours of New Programming Brings Fans Inside A Great White Shark Feeding Frenzy And Investigates Rumors of Sharks Feasting on Cocaine

LOS ANGELES (July 12, 2023) - Jason Momoa, the fan-favorite actor, superhero, and conservationist who is dedicated to protecting and preserving the world's oceans, will host the 35th year of Shark Week, Discovery Channel's week-long celebration and investigation of shark habits and behaviors. Each night, beginning Sunday, July 23 at 8PM ET/PT, Momoa will guide fans through nearly 20 new hours of television featuring the apex predators, including "Belly of the Beast: Feeding Frenzy" that will provide a first time, close-up look at a great white shark feast -- captured by researchers with cameras inside a whale carcass decoy -- or "Cocaine Sharks" that reveals what happens to sharks that possibly feed on cocaine and other illegal drugs dumped in South Florida waters.

A top-rated programming event that attracted more than 28 million viewers last year, Shark Week also will spotlight innovative technology used to track and study unique shark species and their enemies. Showcasing the work of the world's most respected marine biologists and science institutions, Shark Week also will delve into mating and migration patterns -- showing rare footage -- as researchers follow the sharks to remote locations in South Africa and New Zealand.

Following Shark Week, audiences can see Momoa in "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom," premiering in theaters on December 20.

Warner Bros. Discovery's linear and streaming portfolio - including TBS, TNT, truTV, TLC, Food Network, HGTV, CNN, Travel Channel, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Animal Planet, Science Channel, ID, TCM - will air Shark Week-inspired content or cross-promote the event.
