Â
Syfy and The Asylum announced that Ian Ziering will slay again in SHARKNADO 4 (working title), reprising his role as shark-fighting hero Fin Shepard, while Tara Reid is set to return as April Wexler to reveal the outcome of the fan-voted #AprilLives or #AprilDies social campaign. The fourth addition to the hit global franchise also sees the return of David Hasselhoff as Gil Shepard and Ryan Newman as Claudia Shepard.
Set to premiere on Syfy this July, SHARKNADO 4 (WT) will take place five years after the East Coast was ravaged in SHARKNADO 3: OH HELL NO!. Fin, his family and the cosmos have been blissfully sharknado-free in the intervening years, but now sharks â and ânados! â are being whipped up in places (and ways) least expectedâŚ
SHARKNADO 4 (WT) will also star:
Gary Busey (âLethal Weapon,â âCelebrity Apprenticeâ), as Wilford Wexler, Aprilâs father and a lead scientist at Astro-X. He’s at the forefront of advances in the field of robotics.
Tommy Davidson (âBlack Dynamite,â âIn Living Colorâ), as Aston Reynolds, playboy tech billionaire. Aston is the CEO of tech company Astro-X, developers of a revolutionary energy system that can stabilize the atmosphere and prevent the formation of tornadoes.
Imani Hakim (âEverybody Hates Chrisâ), as Gabrielle, Mattâs best friend and a fellow soldier. Gabrielle is tough and no-nonsense, can take care of herself and isnât afraid to show what she’s capable of doing.
Cody Linley (âHannah Montana,â âMelissa & Joeyâ), as Matt, Fin and Aprilâs eldest son. After surviving the first Sharknado, Matt finished flight school and joined the Army. He’s experienced the events of the last six years from afar and longs to reunite with his American Hero father.
Masiela Lusha (âGeorge Lopezâ), as Gemini, Finâs cousin. Ever resourceful, Gemini is chock full of shark-busting attitude and is ready to dive into the fight once the sharks hit the fan.
Cheryl Tiegs (âThe Apprenticeâ), as Raye, Finâs mother and Col. Gil Shepardâs ex-wife. Raye is a little bit of a former flower child, but not afraid to speak her mind or protect her family.
Currently filming, SHARKNADO 4 (WT) will include a plethora of additional outrageous and surprising cameos to be announced soon. Stay tunedâŚ
