Filled with stunning underwater photography, jaw-dropping facts and cutting-edge science, Planet Shark takes a deep dive inside the extraordinary world of sharks.

More than 500 different species of sharks roam our seas. From Whale Sharks the size of city buses to a newly discovered deep sea shark the size of a child’s hand. This three part series reveals how these adaptable predators have come to dominate almost every corner of our oceans. And even, our rivers!

Planet Shark reveals the incredible array of weapons sharks deploy to take down their prey. The alien-looking sixgill shark uses it’s extraordinary sense of smell to track down whale carcasses in the lightless world of the abyss. Gangs of whitetip reef sharks use their electrical sixth sense to pick up on the beating hearts of prey hidden in the coral.

Drawing on the expertise of the world’s leading shark experts, Planet Shark takes viewers on a journey right around the world. From the poles to the tropics, we meet an extraordinary cast as we explore what makes sharks so successful. From glow in the dark Swell Sharks to Greenland Sharks over 400 years old, there are many surprises and jaw-dropping moments along the way.

“In the last ten years, new tracking & filming technology has allowed us to get closer to sharks than ever before. Our understanding of how these animals live and how they’ve come to dominate our oceans has transformed.” – Greg Skomal, Shark Scientist

Using speed, super senses, camouflage and teamwork, this series shows how sharks are able to adapt and survive in the most hostile of waters. Thriving where other predators have failed.

Beautiful, awe-inspiring and revelatory, you’ll never look at sharks in the same light again.
