This year, Discovery is doing something different. An original, made-for-TV movie starring Transformers actor Josh Duhamel will debut during the week. Capsized: Blood in the Water centers on a 1982 shark encounter during which a yacht capsized during a storm. The crew met a pack of tiger sharks during the ordeal.
The film will air on Wednesday, July 31 at 9 p.m. ET and will be followed by another episode of Shark After Dark.
