On Thursday, Nickelodeon, Paramount+ and The Pinkfong Company announced the newest additions to the voice cast for the film.
To start things off, previous major guest stars from the series will be appearing, frankly a rarity if not a first for series adaptations like this. Cardi B and Offset will return as Sharki B and Offshark. They and their first child, Kulture, voicing Kulture Sharki, first appeared in the episode "The Seaweed Sway", and will now be joined by the family's second child, Wave, at just 18 months old, voicing Wavey Shark.

Ashley Tisdale, Saturday Night Live stars Chloe Fineman and Ego Nwodim, Aparna Narcherla, and K-Pop boy band ENHYPHEN will also be contributing their voices.
Tisdale plays Stariana, a starfish that is rising as a pop star, considered sharp-witted and manipulative. She will do anything to achieve a splash hit, including who plans to steal Baby Shark’s gift of song. Her daughter Jupiter even had a Baby Shark birthday party. Nancherla is Gillie, Stariana's assistant, a boxfish described as "chaotic" and "bumbling". Nwodim will play Leah, a lantern shark and Mommy Shark's college best friend, while Fineman plays Lannie, her hyper and lovable daughter. ENHYPEN will essentially play beluga versions of themselves.
Baby Shark's Big Show! stars Kimiko Glenn as Baby Shark, Luke Youngblood as William, Natasha Rothwell as Mommy Shark, Eric Edelstein as Daddy Shark, Debra Wilson as Grandma Shark and Patrick Warburton as Grandpa Shark are all reprising their roles to star in the film, which is set to premiere on Paramount+ this holiday season.
