Exclusive: CNN will broadcast the Shark Week documentary Great White Open Ocean on Saturday, July 30, marking the first time the channel has participated in Shark Week.
It comes almost four months after the merger was completed between Discovery, whose flagship cable channel carries Shark Week, and CNN parent WarnerMedia. CNN also has been promoting Discovery Channel’s Shark Week on-air and online this year in a synergy move across Warner Bros. Discovery.
Great White Open Ocean is a 90-minute documentary featuring shark diving expert Jimi Partington. A year after almost dying in the jaws of a great white shark, Partington got back into the water to overcome the traumatic event, but the experience quickly became a battle for life and death. It was filmed by Shark Week filmmaker Jeff Kurr.
Shark Week returned to Discovery for its 34th year on July 24 with Dwayne Johnson as its first Master of Ceremonies.
