Grab your chainsaws and umbrellas: Sharknado 4, titled Sharknado: The 4th Awakens, is coming and along with the sharks falling from the sky, there will be plenty of celebrity cameos to shake your robotic hand at.

Celebrity cameos this time around include Real Housewives of Atlanta's Cynthia Bailey, Dancing With the Stars' Kym Johnson, Shark Tank star Robert Herjavec, TV host Carrie Keagan, T'Keyah Crystal Keymah of In Living Color and Baywatch's Gena Lee Nolin and Alexandra Paul as Astro-x rocket scientists and astrophysicists. You read that right!

The Howard Stern Show's Benjy Bronk will play a morning show host, Duane Chapman, yes Dog the Bounty Hunter, will play a chainsaw dealer (necessary when there's a sharknado happening) and Stacey Dash will play the mayor of Chicago. Do we have Chris Rock and the Oscars to thank for this?

Jay DeMarcus of the Rascal Flatts will play the manager of the Shark World hotel (is Sharknado going to get political with Sea World parodying?), Married With Children's David Faustino will play a Las Vegas gambler, Lori Greiner of Shark Tank will be on a home shopping network, MMA Fighter Frank Mir will play the head of security at Shark World's hotel, Dr. Drew Pinsky will play a pastor, Patti Stanger will play a reporter and Slipknot's Corey Taylor will be a Shark World hotel security guard. Vince Neil, Wayne Newton, Todd Chrisley, Savannah Chrisley and Grayson Chrisley will play themselves.

But wait, there's more! Syfy says more celebrity cameos will be announced at a later date.

Sharknado: The 4th Awakens takes place five years after the East Coast was hit with a sharknado in last summer's third flick. There hasn't been a shark storm since. Ian Ziering is back as Fin and Tara Reid is returning as April, but fans will have to wait until the movie airs on Sunday, July 31 to know if April lived or died. David Hasselhoff and Ryan Newman are also set to return with new additions Gary Busey, Tommy Davidson, Imani Hakim, Cody Linley, Masiela Lusha and Cheryl Tiegs.

Sharknado: The 4th Awakens airs Sunday, July 31 at 8 p.m. on Syfy.

(E! and Syfy are both part of the NBCUniversal family.)
