It appears the sharks weren’t the only ones who came back for seconds.
Syfy’s Sharknado 2: The Second One on Wednesday night sucked 3.9 million total viewers into its vortex — making it the cabler’s most watched original movie ever — with 1.6 mil landing in the extra-tasty 18-49 demo, up 180 percent versus the original telepic.

TVLine readers gave the over-the-top follow-up an average grade of “B+.”
The original Sharknado drew 1.4 million total viewers with its initial airing, with 570K landing in the demo. (Its first two encores then added 1.9 milliion and a 2.1 million total viewers, respectively.)
RELATED Syfy Orders Third Sharknado Movie
Syfy ordered a third Sharknado film back in April, three months ahead of The Second One’s premiere.
Pretty sure this is the highest rated broadcast in number of viewers, and in the 18-49, 25-54 demo on the network in many years. It’s crazy yet somehow incredible, I can see Sharknado becoming a long running movie series at this rate.
Yes, pretty sure that at least two more will come, before maybe some fatigue will kick in. I didn’t expect much of this, but it was a whole lot of campy, insane fun! :)
Lol yep, they’ll just have to use a bit of creativity to keep people interested. Syfy must be thrilled with how it did, these films have literally no budget too. I can see the network ordering at least a Sharknado 5 :)
They will do only one more Sharknado before starting Sharknado verse Squidquake or something insane like that.
I’d actually watch that. Just saying :)
It was a cheesy good time! My son, who is a shark fanatic loved it. We were cracking up at some of the live tweets during the commercial breaks. Bring on Sharknado 3!
Sad to say I watched this LOL…it was so campy and had us cracking up the entire time! Loved all the cameo’s.
I loved it. Highly entertaining and faster paced than the first one. The cameos were loads of fun and the Twitter experience was the icing on the cake.
I loved it. Even had my mother laughing and commenting out loud when we watched it. The best part was everyone stayed awake during it!
Greatest comedy ever filmed!
A group of us had a sharknado viewing event on Facebook… Had a blast…
I really can’t tell if this is suppose to be one of those films that is just so stupid it’s funny? Sort of like Jeepers Creepers? Man I laughed that entire movie because it was so stupid but would never watch it again. Oh or Snakes on a Plane. Or if maybe it is actually good. I just don’t picture Tara Reid in anything that good.
