Following three months of hiatus since the show aired its last episode in January, the CBS legal drama Shark returns tonight with the much-awaited episode "Bar Fight." For the remaining episodes of the second season, Shark will once again shift to a new timeslot. Effective tonight, the network will be moving the series to Tuesdays at 9pm, which also applies for its next three broadcasts.
When we last saw Shark, Sebastian Stark (James Woods) saw a dark secret surface after a bullet with his name on it killed friend and former law partner Paul Faber (Joe Spano). In attempt to put the man responsible behind bars, Stark confessed to conniving in the cover-up of a murder 12 years ago. The question is will he lose his license for testifying?

The writers' strike has the television industry at a standstill, with many actors and crew members forced to go on an early break. Having the extra time has proven to be a good thing for Shark actress Jeri Ryan, however, as it has given her the chance to focus on the most important thing in her life: her family.
“Family is always the most important thing. Always. Your marriage, your children -- that's life. That is what's important; that is the real substance of life,” Ryan, who is expecting her first child with second husband Christopher Eme, told ModernMom.com.

Danielle Panabaker, one of the cast members of Shark, will be gracing the silver screen next year with a coming of age sports drama written and directed by Rusty Gorman called Home of the Giants. The 20-year-old actress will be joining Haley Joel Osment (Sixth Sense, Pay it Forward) as the lead.
Home of the Giants is a story about friendship and basketball, centering on a high school journalist named Gar (Osment). He covers the school's basketball team as it heads toward a state championship but things go awry when his best friend, Matt (Ryan Merriman), who is also the basketball team's main “star,” is asked by his brother Keith (Kenneth Mitchell), to steal money from a drug dealer's home. As Matt partakes in the heist, Gar tags along and inevitably gets caught in the middle.

As Shark cuts deeper into the second season, fans can expect the cutthroat prosecutor, Sebastian Stark (James Woods), to engage in some hardcore legal drama. Having endured a challenging but successful first year as the head of the Los Angeles District Attorney's High Profile Crime Unit, he has convinced the ambitious and recently displaced former D.A., Jessica Devlin (Jeri Ryan), to revisit her days as a trial attorney by becoming a senior member of his team. Also on board are the tough yet passionate Raina Troy (Sophina Brown), the shrewd and high-powered Madeleine Poe (Sarah Carter), the newest member, Danny Reyes (Kevin Alejandro), as well as the resourceful investigator, Isaac Wright (Henry Simmons).

James Woods has been in the entertainment industry since the early 1970s, but the actor says it wasn't until he began appearing on CBS' Shark that he truly felt like a star.
"I did, like, 127 movies and I never made a dime. I wasn't really sure how much of a star I was, frankly… But for the first time ... I sort of feel like it,” Woods told the Deseret Morning News. "I think that not because [Shark is] successful, but I think you are a star in a sense when a character meshes with what people may really hope to expect from you. I never really had a character that was kind of smart and funny and fast talking and maybe kind of cut the corners a little bit. And was a little bit, sometimes, ethically challenged in tactics and strategies, but certainly ethically solid when it came to the final goal of right and wrong."
