SyFy Channel announces 'Sharknado Week' with 'Sharknado 2: The Second One' sequel premiere two weeks before Discovery's 'Shark Week!' Which will you watch?

The Discovery Channel's annual weeklong event, Shark Week, is something plenty of viewers look forward to each year, but what if there was something slightly related and much more ridiculous to tune into two weeks earlier? This year, SyFy will bring us Sharknado Week: a weeklong event celebrating the cheesiest shark attack movies and clips.

Including the highly anticipated premieres of Sharknado 2: The Second One and Roger Corman's Sharktopus vs. Ptercuda, Sharknado Week is sure to bring in high ratings for the network. The event kicks off on Saturday, July 26, with Mega Shark vs. Mecha Shark. We'll also be treated to a special entitled Sharkmania: The Top 15 Biggest Baddest Bloodiest Bites. 

Here is the official synopsis of Sharknado 2: The Second One: 

In Sharknado 2: The Second One, the sequel to last summer's global pop culture sensation, a freak weather system turns its deadly fury on New York City, unleashing a Sharknado on the population and its most cherished iconic sites - and only Fin (Ian Ziering) and April (Tara Reid) can save the Big Apple. The movie, directed by Anthony C. Ferrante from a screenplay by Thunder Levin, also stars Mark McGrath, Kari Wuhrer, Vivica A. Fox and Judah Friedlander, with cameo appearances including Kelly Osbourne, Judd Hirsch, Perez Hilton, Matt Lauer, Al Roker, Andy Dick, Robert Klein, Sandra "Pepa" Denton, Biz Markie, Downtown Julie Brown, Richard Kind and Kurt Angle, among others.

And here is the synopsis for Sharktopus vs. Ptercuda:

In this new Roger Corman movie, the child of Sharktopus goes toe-to-toe with the latest science experiment "Pteracuda" - half Pteradactyl, half Barracuda - in a battle for monster supremacy. A production of New Horizons Pictures, the movie stars Robert Carradine (Django Unchained) and Katie Savoy (Living with Models).
