SDCC 2016: SyFy Smells Blood in the Water With ‘Sharknado 4’

Syfy’s Sharknado 4: The 4th Awakening swims into San Diego Comic-Con this summer.
In the new film, Ian Ziering, Tara Reid, and David Hasselhoff return for another round of weather-related aquatic mayhem, as Fin Shepherd (Ziering) and his family have enjoyed a blissful five years free of sharknados. But that all changes in unexpected ways.

Actress Stacey Dash (gross), will play the mayor of Chicago in Sharknado 4. She spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about what promotion she has ahead of her for the movie.

“I never even heard of Sharknado until I did it. I’m proudly going to Comic-Con for them,” Dash told The Hollywood Reporter.

Sharknado has become a bit of a Comic-Con tradition at this point. Shortly after it’s Comic-Con debut the film then debuts shortly after the convention, giving Syfy plenty of footage and information to share with attendees.

Last year’s panel featured featured stars Ian Ziering, Tara Reid, Cassie Scerbo, and David Hasselhoff — as well as director Anthony C. Ferrante and writer Thunder Levin.

This year, the film will premiere on Syfy on July 31, 2016. With the announcement that Syfy will be filming a live Comic-Con show (free for attendees to attend!), we expect Sharknado 4: The 4th Awakening to get a big push.
