Anthony Mackie is set to lead Nat Geo’s next installment of “Shark Beach.”
Following in the footsteps of fellow actor Chris Hemsworth, the new film will follow Mackie as he “uncovers the delicate dance between humans, ecosystems and the sharks that serve as keystone species for our environments,” according to the official logline.
“Shark Beach with Anthony Mackie,” which is set to launch during summer’s Sharkfest, will follow the actor in his hometown of New Orleans, Louisiana as he investigates a global phenomenon plaguing local fishing communities, and how it might be a symptom of larger environmental issues.
“Shark Beach with Anthony Mackie” is produced in partnership with Nutopia, and was executive produced by Arif Nurmohamed, Nicola Moody and Jane Root for Nutopia, while Geoff Daniels serves as EVP of unscripted. Directed by Matt Kay, EPs for Nat Geo include Vissering, Tracy Rudolph Jackson and Tom McDonald, who serves as EVP of global factual and unscripted content.
