Sharknado 5 Officially/Inevitably Announced

Yes, Tara Reid is back.

By Jordan Sirani

Syfy and The Asylum have officially announced a fifth entry in the outrageous Sharknado series.

Ian Ziering and Tara Reid will return for Sharknado 5 as Fin Shepard and April Wexler, respectively. Cassie Scerbo will also be reprising her role as "bartender turned badass Sharknado fighter" Nova. Principal photography kicks off today with Sharknado 1-4 director Anthony C. Ferrante at the helm.

Team Sharknado is back to Sharknado some more.

Shrarknado 5 picks up following the events of its predecessor, which left "much of North America lying in ruins." It will introduce the much-feared "global sharknado," which Ziering's Fin Shepard is tasked with stopping.

While a debut date wasn't announced, it's worth noting Syfy has aired a new Sharknado each July since the original's release in 2013.
