The title also gets political and punny
Summertime means three things: your air conditioner will inevitably break, wild children with no structure as far as the eye can see, and a forecast for more sky funnels filled with man-eating fish.
Sharknadois back, whether you want it or not.
Syfy today officially announced the title and tagline for Sharknado 5, as well as the premiere date and a list of guest-starring "celebs" that would make Celebrity Rehab jealous. Sharknado 5 will premiere Sunday, Aug. 6 at 8/7c and be dubbed Sharknado 5: Global Swarming, and carry the Trumpian tagline of "Make America Bait Again." You're probably letting out an audible groan, but come on, those are pretty darned good. And given the political bent of the title and tagline, I'd say there's a 500-percent chance that a Trump impersonator will find himself in the belly of a mako.
The premise of this year's film sees Fin (Ian Ziering) and April (Tara Reid) scramble around the globe to find their son, who was sucked up into a sharknado and sharknadoed all over the world. They'll visit Rio, Tokyo, Rome, Amsterdam and London, and hopefully spread the message that global warming is a really big deal by making light of it with rampant sharknadoes.

Syfy's press release threatens that there will be "many more" as well.
I have so many emotions about this I don't even know where to start.
Sharkando 5: Global Swarming premieres Aug. 6 at 8/7c on Syfy.
