Just when you thought The Asylum had its fill of shark tornadoes, the B-movie production company reportedly has plans for Sharknado 7 with the title Sharknado Origins.<\/p>\n

Details on a surprise new entry in the infamous disaster film series come from Variety<\/u>, which reports The Asylum has already begun laying the groundwork for a summer 2026 premiere. Production on Sharknado Origins is set to start, with Anthony Ferrante back in the director\u2019s chair, before the year is out.<\/p>\n

After seven Sharknado<\/u> movies \u2013 including Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!, Sharknado: The 4th Awakens, and Sharknado 5: Global Swarming \u2013 Sharknado Origins is going back to the drawing board with a prequel set before the 2013 movie that started it all. Expect its story to follow teenage versions of series regulars Fin and April, who, just as they begin to fall in love, are met with the first-ever Sharknado. It\u2019s unclear if Ian Ziering and Tara Reid, who played Fin and April through the original six-movie run, will play any part in the early prequel.<\/p>\n

Sharknado Origins\u2019 description teases, \u201cnothing says young love like airborne predators,\u201d so audiences may be in store for more of the tongue-in-cheek tone that carried the TV movies through six installments. The original became one of the most popular B-movie runs of all time thanks to its creative titles and deeply unserious plot, with its notoriously low budget only adding to the appeal.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Six films tore through moviegoers from 2013 to 2018, with the final entry<\/u>, The Last Sharknado: It\u2019s About Time, said to be the series\u2019 final chapter. It will at least remain as a narrative bookend for the franchise when the 2026 film eventually tells the story of how a tornado first got hold of those dang sharks.<\/p>\n

Sharknado Origins currently has no release date but is expected to premiere before summer 2026 comes to an end. It\u2019s unclear if it will arrive as yet another TV movie or if there are plans for a theatrical run following the 10th anniversary re-release from 2023<\/u>.
