A new release date and title is lurking for Sony Pictures‘ shark thriller starring Bridgerton alum Phoebe Dynevor. The pic formally known as Beneath the Storm from director Tommy Wirkola now is titled Shiver and is set for summer 2026.
After originally being set to hit theaters on August 1 this year, the film is swimming to July 3, 2026. That, of course, is the Independence Day weekend — the setting for another summer popcorn flick starring a large, bloodthirsty fish from a half-century ago. The plot of Shiver, which also stars Whitney Peak and Djimon Hounsou, is under wraps.
Adam McKay and Kevin Messick are producing under their Hyperobject Industries banner along with Wirkola. D. Scott Lumpkin is the exec producer.
