Shark Week 2025 takes center stage in this conversation with Jesse Colaizzi, one of the producers behind the most-watched week in ocean television. We go behind the scenes of what it takes to pitch, plan, film, and deliver a compelling Shark Week segment, how ideas are selected, and how shows make the leap from concept to global audience. Jesse also discusses what it means to represent sharks accurately while keeping the drama that draws millions of viewers each year.

Ocean storytelling comes into sharp focus as Jesse explains the pressure to entertain while maintaining scientific integrity. We discuss the actual process of working with experts, the surprises that occur during filming, and how Shark Week has evolved over time. Whether you’re a filmmaker, a scientist, or a conservationist, you’ll walk away with insights into the creative balance between TV ratings and accurate shark science.
