Deep Blue Sea 2, the unexpected sequel to the 1999 sleeper hit about genetically engineered sharks, is coming to Syfy next year and it has secured an R rating for violence and gore, leading to the possibility of a non-cheesy Syfy flick. Also promising is that the lead scientist’s name is Dr. Misty Calhoun!

Deep Blue Sea 2 finds Dr. Misty Calhoun consulting on a top secret project funded by a pharmaceutical billionaire and utilizing bull sharks as its test subjects. The latter, unbeknownst to Dr. Misty, soon leads to horrific consequences.

Taking on the role of Dr. Misty Calhoun is Danielle Savre, best known for her recurring role as Jackie Wilcox on NBC’s “Heroes” and the final girl in 2007’s Boogeyman 2. Savre has also appeared in episodes of “Charmed,” “The X-Files,” and “Supernatural.”
