The ocean is calling — but only the boldest should answer. A brand-new reality show throws a group of thrill seekers into deep, uncharted waters for a chance at lucrative prize money and something far rarer: bragging rights. With tension bubbling just beneath the surface, this is no ordinary dive. As the cast for All the Sharks is revealed, one question takes center stage: Who is daring enough to face what swims in the depths of the ocean, where one wrong move might just reduce them to being a part of the food chain?
Guided only by instinct, the cast of All the Sharks prepares for an underwater trial like no other.

A brand-new TV series concept with photography at its heart debuted on July 4, and viewers just cannot stop talking about it. The eccentric challenge that makes the crux of the series calls for as much. Powered by Netflix, All the Sharks combines money, sharks, and individuals seeking the ultimate adventure. The participants — namely, Randy, Rosie, MJ, Aliah, Brandan, Chris, Dan, and Sarah — are, for the record, equipped with either professional deep-water experience or possess biology and environmental knowledge of the highest caliber.
Divided into four teams of two members each, the groups will attempt to get as close as they can to capture the best possible photographs of the rarest species of sharks to win the USD 50,000 jackpot. Across the series, per Netflix, the cast — including host Tom Hird — will explore the deep waters of the Maldives, the Bahamas, South Africa, Japan, Australia, and more to deliver quality content for fans. While the adrenaline among both the cast and the viewers is at an all-time high, it is worth revisiting how similar concepts have yielded not-so-favorable results for people in the past. Timothy Treadwell, for instance.
A man who believed he had formed a bond with bears ended up becoming an example for wildlife aficionados.

Director Werner Herzog told the story of Timothy Treadwell in the 2005 documentary Grizzly Man. Treadwell, who claimed to have formed a special rapport with the wild predators, ended up being eaten by one two years before inspiring Herzog’s feature. He, like the All the Sharks contestants, was recording videos of the bears at the time of his death; however, the camera did not manage to capture a shot of the uneventful day. All that made back to humanity was the audio of the haunting moment.

With All the Sharks, Netflix — which has an impressive roster of reality shows — is potentially courting a disaster. But who knows for sure? It could be that the offering ends up redefining the competitive series genre with only a six-part installment. With nerves of steel and everything to lose, the cast of All the Sharks, after all, is ready to test the limits where few dare to swim.
