'My Strange Shark Addiction' Is Coming to Shark Week 2026

Meet the most shark-obsessed "fin-atics" around and take a plunge into their wild fascinations on "My Strange Shark Addiction." Learn all about the new special here!

July 07, 2026

Their love for sharks goes way deeper than claiming a favorite animal. On "My Strange Shark Addiction," premiering on Friday, July 31 at 10P, we'll meet four devoted shark "fin-atics" whose obsessions have taken over their daily lives.

We'll introduce a dentist who spends every spare moment searching for life-size shark replicas. And yes, their home is overewhelmed by the model apex predator collection. Additionally, we'll meet a woman who insists she has a special connection with her shark "boyfriend." And we can't forget our world-record holder covered in shark tattoos.

Get ready to explore the fin-atics' routines, relationships, and finances – all of which have been greatly affected by their shark-themed passions. Will they take control of their infatuations, or dive even deeper into their obsessions with all things shark?

Find out on "My Strange Shark Addiction," ony on Discovery! In the meantime, check out the world's rarest sharks in the video below.

In this season’s final episode, Luke welcomes Emmy-winning filmmaker and conservationist Shawn Heinrichs to discuss the state of sharks in the ocean. They go over how both legal and illegal fishing operations are decimating the ocean’s wildlife, what it’s like to have a hit put out on you for exposing criminal enterprises to the world, and whether or not NOAA’s data on “sustainable” fishing can really be trusted.

Shark Week: The Podcast - How To Have A Career in Shark Science

Shark Week’s Luke Tipple tackles the question “How can I work with sharks?” alongside two experts in the field – and their answers are not always the obvious ones. Luke is joined first by Kelly Link, Associate Curator of the Georgia Aquarium who talks about what it’s like to be an aquarist, how it differs from field work, and how to get yourself noticed. The second guest is Dr. Neil Hammerschlag who goes into detail on what it takes to become a prominent scientist, and what other paths you can take if a PhD isn’t for you. And at the end, researcher Sierra stops by to tell us about the world’s smallest shark.
