Shark Wrangler Previews Season 2 Changes

James Woods and Jeri Ryan in Shark by Justin Lubin/CBS

Shark creator Ian Biederman has signed a two-year deal with 20th Century Fox TV to continue on as show-runner for the hit drama and develop new projects. Heralding Biederman's success, 20th Century president Dana Walden tells Variety, "Ian has created a larger-than-life character in Sebastian Stark that... captured the imagination of the amazing Jimmy Woods, a feature actor who'd never done a television series. The result was the year's most-watched new drama."

Looking ahead to Shark's Season 2, Biederman says, "We want to make it a combination of provocative drama and interesting characters... not just a procedural." Tweaks include Jeri Ryan's DA joining Stark's team, giving the supporting cast meatier stories and bringing back Stark's ex-wife.

SHARK: I read that the young hottie (guy) is leaving the show. They already killed one guy off, now what? It'd better another hottie.

I thought Heroes and Brothers & Sisters bot got higher ratings than Shark.

They did. And their viewers are younger than 75.

So what is the deal with Sam Page? I don't want him to leave the show unless he's going to something better.

I was actually a fan of the show last year, and I'm thinking that I was one of the few people under 35 who watched on a regular basis. Since I mainly started watching because I heard Sam was going to be on the show, I'm not really all that inclined to watch next year unless I have a real good explanation as to why he left.

I like Sam Page too. I wish he'd go back to All My Children, Kendall could use her other brother.

I don't really want Sam to go back to soaps. I think he's too good for that. I do wish he'd land a role on a show that had some key demo appeal. He was good in Point Pleasant. Although I personally didn't like the subject matter of the show I think he would have ended up being a big star if they had put that somewhere besides opposite CSI and The Apprentice in their heyday. I think he's got potential, I liked him on Shark, although he was underutilized. I just hope he ends up on something soon but I really don't want to see him wasted on soaps.
