Osbourne, Dick, and Hirsch, meanwhile, will portray a flight attendant, a police officer, and a cab driver, respectively. And Friedlander is taking on the role of a character named Brian.

According to a press release about the casting news, Sharknado 2: The Second One will unleash a "deadly fury" of killer sharks on the Big Apple. Last year's made-for-TV original was watched by millions of people and sparked a huge trend on social media.

"What we can guarantee is that Sharknado 2 will be lots of fun."
