The Jackass crew will have their own TV special during Shark Week this year on the Discovery Channel. The Jackass Shark Week Special features Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, Chris Pontius, and new Jackass cast members going into the deep blue sea to confront the most dangerous predator in the ocean “on a Shark Week mission for the ages.”

The synopsis of the Jackass Shark Week Special:

They’ll dial up a series of shark stunts that test their bravery and threshold of pain as they put common shark myths to the test with the help of Dr. Craig O’Connell. Produced by Jeff Tremaine and Anomaly Entertainment.

Shark Week arrives on the Discovery Channel on July 11 at 10 PM/ET, and the Jackass Shark Week Special will debut on the opening night.

Jackass members have come face-to-face with sharks in the past, as seen in the above video from Steve-O, as well as the “Human Shark Bait” stunt in the below video.

There will also be a Stranger Things-themed Shark Week TV show exclusively on Discovery+ hosted by actor Noah Schnapp, who plays Will Byers on Stranger Things.
