Written by gaytourism

The SyFy Channel has released its trailer for the sixth and final film in the Sharknado franchise, aptly titled The Last Sharknado: It’s About Time.

Drag Race All-Star Alaska will be joining the cast of the cheesy disaster flick. Other notable people featured in the film include Ian Ziering, Tara Reid, Tori Spelling, Dean McDermott, La Toya Jackson, Dee Snider, Neil deGrasse Tyson, and Darrell Hammond.

Started in 2013, the Sharknado franchise consists of made-for-TV science fiction comedy films. The plot revolves around a waterspout that lifts sharks out of the ocean and leaves them around Los Angeles.

The original film received an 82% on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics called it ‘proudly, shamelessly, and gloriously brainless.’

Since the first film, there have been four sequels: Sharknado 2: The Second One, Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!, Sharknado: The 4th Awakens, and Sharknado 5: Global Swarming.

The synopsis for the sixth and final film reads:

‘Our hero Fin (Ian Ziering) has battled sharks all over the globe, but in this last installment he will tackle the final shark-tier — time travel. In the ending moments of Sharknado 5: Global Swarming, Fin was seen wandering alone on Earth after it was destroyed. Now he must travel back in time to stop the Sharknado that started it all. Will Fin and the gang be able to set everything right and save the world once and for all?’

The Last Sharknado: It’s About Time premieres on 19 August on the SyFy network.
