Tommy Wirkola’s Shark Thriller Swims Into 2026 With New Title ‘Shiver’

Beneath the Storm, the shark thriller from Norwegian filmmaker Tommy Wirkola (Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, Dead Snow, Violent Night), is now swimming into a 2026 release along with an updated title, Shiver, Deadline reports.

Shiver was originally set to release this summer on August 1. Now, the film is taking up prime real estate for shark horror by swimming into Independence Day weekend on July 3, 2026. 

The holiday weekend calls the mother of all shark horror movies to mind: Steven Spielberg’s Jaws. The summer blockbuster turns 50 this year and famously took place over the Fourth of July holiday weekend, where a great white shark terrorized the beachside town of Amity.

Phoebe Dynevor (Fair Play), Whitney Peak (Hocus Pocus 2) and Djimon Hounsou (A Quiet Place: Part II) star in Shiver, produced by Adam McKay and Kevin Messick.

Plot details remain under wraps, of course, though the film’s new title is intriguing.

Wirkola is keeping busy; not only is Shiver on the way next year, but the filmmaker is also working on sequel Violent Night 2. Outside of the genre space, Wirkola also recently debuted the trailer for animated comedy Spermageddon.

Shiver is one of many new shark attack movies in the works, with Francesca Eastwood starring in The Bay and the Sean Byrne-directed Dangerous Animals also upcoming.

2026 is shaping up to deliver another summer of sharks. Stay tuned.
