Animal Planet to Premiere Season 7 of RIVER MONSTERS, 4/5

ANIMAL Planet's best-performing series returns with the most daring expeditions to-date. Jeremy Wade, freshwater detective, biologist and extreme angler, is breaking the surface and diving into the lairs of aquatic beasts with six brand-new episodes of the seventh season of RIVER MONSTERS, premiering Sunday, April 5, at 9 PM (ET/PT).

The upcoming season is full of unexplored realms for Wade - both emotional and physical, taking him around the world in search of the greatest RIVER MONSTERS to exotic locales including Botswana, Fiji, Cambodia, Alaska and Canada.

Just when viewers think Jeremy has caught almost every river monster alive, he is fishing in the past for the epic special RIVER MONSTERS: PREHISTORIC TERROR, premiering in late May during ANIMAL Planet's fourth annual MONSTER WEEK. Using Wade's keen understanding of modern-day monsters, top scientific discoveries and state-of-the-art CGI, the apex killers of the prehistoric era such as the 25-foot, buzz saw-toothed Helicoprion and the bone-crushing Dunkleosteus, come to life for the first time ever!
