The Asylum, renowned for its low-budget parody films and original B-movies, boasts its most famous IP in the "Sharknado" franchise, which has garnered a significant global following. To date, the series has spawned five sequels and even a spin-off trilogy, "Lavalantula." However, the main storyline of the "Sharknado" series concluded in 2018 with its sixth installment, "The Last Sharknado: It's About Time." Even "Lavalantula" has not seen a follow-up in quite some time. Yet, The Asylum has now unexpectedly announced a new project.
