The cult classic shark horror franchise 'Deep Blue Sea' is all set to release its third movie. Not much is known about the R-rated 'Deep Blue Sea 3' but we do know that it will be a direct sequel to 2018's 'Deep Blue Sea 2', although none of the human characters from that movie are expected to make an appearance again. Here’s everything you need to know about the project:

Release Date

'Deep Blue Sea 3' is currently scheduled to release via Video On Demand on July 28, 2020.

Plot

The movie will revolve around a scientist trying to study the effects of climate change on Great White shark populations. However, their studies are disturbed when another team arrives trying to locate three bull sharks that may be the ones who escaped at the end of the previous movie. Here's the full synopsis for the film: "Dr Emma Collins and her team are spending their third summer on the island of Little Happy studying the effect of climate change on the great white sharks who come to the nearby nursery every year to give birth. Along with the last two inhabitants of this former fishing village, their peaceful life is disrupted when a 'scientific' team led by her ex-boyfriend and marine biologist Richard show up looking for three bull sharks who we soon learn aren't just any bull sharks."

Trailer

A trailer for the movie was released online on June 17. The clip reveals the premise and wastes no time before getting into the excitement of shark attacks.
