'Sharknado 5: Global Swarming' Film Airs on Aug. 6
Syfy has recently unveiled the title for the next installment to the "Sharknado" TV movie franchise.
On Thursday, June 1, the cable network revealed that the fifth "Sharknado" movie will be titled "Sharknado 5: Global Swarming." The title is global warming-inspired while the tagline is more Trump-inspired: "Make America bait again."
The tagline and the movie itself were the product of a fan-sourced social initiative which kicked off back in April. At the time, people were asked to submit creative as well as outrageous visions for the TV movie through an interactive bot.
