Syfy and The Asylum have given the official two thumbs up to the fifth installment of the popular ‘Sharknado’ series.

In a press release Syfy wrote, “Now, in Sharknado 5, with much of North America lying in ruins, the rest of the world braces for the inevitable – a global sharknado. Fin Shepard and his family must put a stop to this disaster before Earth is completely obliterated.”

Ian Ziering (Fin Shepard) and Tara Reid (April Wexler) are both set to reprise their roles in Sharknado 5.

The first Sharknado movie came out in 2013 and was based in Los Angeles. Sharknado 2 was set in New York City, the third took place along the East Coast from Washington to Florida and the most recent film, Sharknado 4: The 4th Awakens took place all around the world, from Paris to Niagara Falls.

The movie will reportedly be filmed in five countries and director Anthony C. Ferrante, who directed the first four movies will be back for the fifth.
