History
On
October 20,
2006, it was announced that CBS had picked up the show for a full 22-episode season.
CBS announced on
May 16,
2007 that Shark would return for a second season.
In Shark's second season, it moved to Sunday night at 10:00 p.m.,
switching timeslots with
Without a Trace and thereby competing against another highly-rated series,
ABC's Brothers & Sisters. In
Canada,
Global had also picked up
Brothers & Sisters, so they decided to keep Shark on Thursday 10 p.m. timeslot, 3 days ahead of the CBS broadcast (except for the Season 2 premiere), and
Brothers & Sisters for their Sunday night 10 p.m. timeslot.
The show returned Tuesday
April 29,
2008 in a new timeslot at 9:00 to air the four remaining post-strike episodes. CBS officially cancelled the series on
May 13,
2008.
The show airs in
Ireland on
RTÉ One on Saturday nights. Season one has already aired and the channel broke for a hiatus due to the writers strike on 3 May 2008, after airing the season 2 episode, "Partners In Crime". Repeats of the show air on
Channel 6 on Sunday nights.
Five aired the first season of Shark in the UK on Thursday nights along with
House, the channel premiered Season Two on

Shark won't be returning for a third season according to CBS new
2008-09 United States network television schedule.
