'Sharknado: The 4th Awakens': SyFy Reveals 'Star Wars'-Inspired Poster Plus Partial List Of Cameos

In 2013, the SyFy channel produced a made-for-TV disaster film “Sharknado,” about a water spout that lifts sharks out of the ocean and deposits them in Los Angeles. The film aspired to cult status, and greatly succeed with audiences and critics who praised its “so-bad-it’s-good” characteristics. Now, SyFy has followed “Sharknado” up with two subsequent sequels, “Sharknado 2: The Second One,” and “Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!” This year, SyFy will premiere “Sharknado: The 4th Awakens” this summer, and the channel has unveiled its “Star Wars”-themed poster as well as a partial list of cameos, including controversial Fox News host Stacye Dash as the Mayor of Chicago. Check out the poster above.
