All the Thrilling & Fascinating Shark Movies On Netflix

These shark movies are great to watch during Shark Week, Summer, or any time of year. These Netflix titles feature TV shows, cult movies, horror movies, thriller movies, documentaries, and science & nature shows.

What is Shark Week?

Shark Week is an annual, week-long TV programming block created by Tom Golden at the Discovery Channel, which features shark-based programming. Shark Week originally premiered on July 17, 1988. (Source)

These movies include everything from TV shows, cult movies, horror movies, thriller movies, documentaries, and science & nature shows.

These shark movies on Netflix are great selections to add to your Netflix list.
