VIZIO WatchFree+ is rolling out a dedicated Shark Attack pop-up channel this week, cramming over two dozen cult and creature-feature titles into a free, summer-long streaming binge.

Launching Thursday, July 3, on channel 598, the Shark Attack hub will be available to all VIZIO TV users and anyone with the VIZIO mobile app and a free account.

Headliners include the original Sharknado and its sequel Sharknado 2: The Second One, with Ian Ziering, Tara Reid, and Vivica A. Fox battling airborne sharks in Los Angeles and New York.

Also on deck is the full Bull Shark trilogy, featuring Thom Hallum and Billy Blair as locals facing off against deadly predators in Texas lakes. Survival-horror entries like Open Water, Open Water 2: Adrift, and Open Water 3: Cage Dive bring real-world tension into the mix, while deep-genre cuts like 2 Headed Shark Attack, 3 Headed Shark Attack, and 5 Headed Shark Attack deliver pure B-movie chaos.

Sci-fi thrillers Megalodon Rising, Megalodon: The Frenzy, Planet of the Sharks, and Empire of the Sharks tap into post-apocalyptic waterscapes, while Red Water and Swamp Shark bring the danger inland. Arctic-set Ice Sharks and mountain-horror entry Mountain Shark round out the landlocked menace.

Seasonal chaos gets a twist in Santa Jaws, while Shark Lake, starring Dolph Lundgren, and cult title Sharkansas Women’s Prison Massacre push the genre into campier territory. Other entries include Tsunami Sharks, Mississippi River Shark, and Shark Lake.

The channel drops in ahead of Fourth of July weekend, built to fuel background marathons and all-out creature carnage.
