Syfy's Sharknado premiered five nights ago and attracted 1.4 million viewers, which is not too shabby a number for a cheesy original TV movie. The real success, however, was in social media as the movie garnered more than 5,000 tweets per minute. That is more tweets than any other popular show currently on air has received. Now that Sharknado set some records and continues bringing in viewers through repeats, there is talk that a sequel is in the works.
Actress Tara Reid is reportedly interested in reprising her role and Ian Ziering recently told Extra that a sequel must be made. Reports also indicate that the movie's writer is also on-board in the sequel talks. So a Sharknado 2 may be on its way to the small screen. But what would cause the return of the sharks? Sharkquake? Sharknami? Or will there be a new locale, possibly Florida? Sharkicane anyone?
Update 7/17/13:
The Sharknado sequel has been confirmed by Syfy. With a tentative premiere date for 2014, the setting of the shark-fest sequel will take place in New York. No further word if Tara Reid or Ian Ziering will be reprising their roles. Sharks in New York? We wonder if a perfect storm, or hurricane, will wash the sharks ashore the Big Apple.
