Netflix’s ‘All the Sharks’ is an exciting reality show in which a group of marine life experts enter a competition to see who can capture more sharks—on their cameras! In season 1, host Tom “The Blowfish” Hird takes the contestants, divided into four groups of two, on several adventures around the globe. On each new pitstop, from Tokyo Bay in Japan to Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, the shark experts and enthusiasts went on deep dives where they had to track down the area’s most common and elusive aquatic predators. Thus, among some riveting rivalry and camaraderie, these underwater ventures also offered an enlightening perspective into the intriguing picture that sharks make. Since their participation in the show, all four teams have continued to keep these delightful creatures and their oceanic brethren at the forefront of their careers.
The Land Sharks Continue to Grow in Their Respective Careers
The Land Sharks, aka Randolph “Randy” Thomas and Rosie Moore, showcased a commendable effort during their time at ‘All the Sharks.’ Nonetheless, as the pressure of the competition grew, they were, unfortunately, the first ones to face elimination. Yet, since their departure from the show, they have continued to pursue their aspirations in full throttle. Randy, currently based in Southern California, continues to remain passionate about wildlife conservation, keeping his childhood love for all things sharks strong! Around early 2025, he incorporated drone photography into his routine, offering him a new medium for his career as a photographer and videographer.
Furthermore, it has also had a massive effect on the Wildlife Wednesday series Randy hosts on his Instagram account. Through his online presence and content creation, the Environmental Scientist strives to build a community around the protection and conservation of the environment. Outside of these independent professional outlets, the Wildlife Specialist also holds a contract with the USA Air Force. He’s currently the on-call Authorized Biologist for Edward’s Air Force Base in California. As for his personal life, Randy enjoys traveling to new and exciting locations, oftentimes engaging with the local wildlife in one way or another. Most recently, he took a trip to Dubai with his family in 2024. Even though Randy doesn’t seem to have an evident, persisting friendship with his teammate, Rosie continues to stay on a similar path of excellence.
Rosie currently enjoys the best of both worlds in her career as a biologist and a professional model. Most of her work as an Interdisciplinary Scientist and Science Communication Specialist tends to center around sharks and reptiles. On the other hand, she also has a working relationship with a luxury event modeling agency and often does underwater shoots and more. Additionally, she has also forayed into the world of authorship through her January launch of ‘Forged by Florida.’ As the title suggests, the book details Rosie’s decade-long adventures revolving around Florida’s wildlife, including its Everglades swamps, which remain one of her favorite spots. Currently, she holds the position of Citizen Science Manager at the non-profit The International SeaKeepers Society. Alongside this, she is also a Television Presenter at the Discovery Channel and has experience with various other networks. Thus, it seems that Land Sharks continue to thrive in their chosen vocations.
Gills Gone Wild are Flourishing as Marine-Life Experts
Gills Gone Wild came into ‘All the Sharks’ with a fierce and positive attitude. Their effortless collaboration and aquatic wildlife expertise contributed significantly to their performance. Still, they unfortunately had to go home during the second elimination. Since then, it seems the duo has stayed in touch and even has plans to continue their partnership in the future. Marine Biologist & Photographer Aliah Banchik is currently stationed in Sydney, where she works as the Projects and Communications Coordinator at the Sydney Institute of Marine Science. Additionally, she is also an artist at Nemo Tech for Corals, where she specializes in Underwater Photography & Illustration. On the other hand, she also helms various other personal projects of her own.
A James Cook University alumnus, Aliah, co-founded their student-led shark conservation initiative named The FINstitute. Furthermore, she also shares her passion for wildlife conservation through her artistry, particularly her art company, Naked4Nature, which shares educational and inspiring infographics and portraits. As such, it’s no surprise that the Assistant Instructor and the certified Divemaster, who snagged her diving certificate at the ripe age of 11, has been officially recognized as one of the Top 10 Women Making an Impact in Ocean Conservation. As for Maria Jose “MJ” Algarra, the young environmentalist remains similarly reputable in her own field.
In 2019, she founded Clean This Beach Up, a non-profit organization for which she’s currently the CEO. Through Clean This Beach Up, MJ, a Miami Beach, Florida resident, remains involved in various initiatives that focus on educating communities and spreading awareness about their cause. During the course of their 6-year-and-counting run, they have organized coastal restoration efforts and conducted various workshops. Additionally, the organization also hosts shoreline cleanups and recently held a cleanup event at Biscayne National Park in March of 2025. They also undertook the 2025 Komodo Expedition to further actualize their goals.
Great British Bait Off has Achieved Great Success in Their Individual Professions
Dan Abbott and Sarah Roberts, who made up the Great British Bake Off, gave a pleasantly surprising performance on ‘All the Sharks.’ The duo started out as the underdogs who climbed through the ranks with impressive effort and a winning streak. As such, they became the runner-up in the competition. In the aftermath, both contestants continue to thrive. Dan Abbot is a wildlife filmmaker and drone pilot specializing in marine life. In fact, he even gave a TED Talk a while back about white shark behavior. Most recently, he was featured on BBC Cornwall to discuss a variety of topics, including shark encounters and the Blue shark season. Furthermore, he was thoroughly involved in 2025’s increased frequency of Humpback whale sightings in Cornwall, England.
Alongside having his work featured on various platforms like National Geographic, Discover, and more, Abbot also maintains a riveting YouTube channel under his online tag “SharkManDan.” Similarly, his teammate, Sarah Roberts, has also started dabbling in a new format of content creation. In May 2025, she started her own podcast called That’s Just Wild Pod, which she co-hosts with Steve Backshall and Lizzie Daly. She is also the founder of This is Creature, an outreach brand that works toward raising awareness of global conservation and environmentalism. The brand specializes in Climate Action for Schools events, which have taken Sarah on exciting visits to over 16 schools in different cities in 2025. Moreover, she works toward maximizing her impact on global ocean life through her work as an ambassador for Sea Life Trust.
Shark Docs Continue Their Work as Researchers and Conservators of Marine Life
The Shark Docs entered ‘All the Sharks’ with a clear game plan and a decade-old partnership, which ultimately led them to success. After emerging as the winners, the duo was able to donate their cash winnings to Reef Environmental Education Foundation and OceanFirst, two organizations of their choice. Today, Chris Malinowski, the marine scientist, continues to remain dedicated to his work in the latter organization. At Ocean First Institute, he works as the Director of Research and Conservation, currently based in their research lab in Key Largo, Florida, where he continues his conservation research into marine megafauna. Chris was also involved in another highly educational project this year through Ocean First’s Goliath Grouper research documentary, which was screened at an International Film Festival at Florida’s Guy Harvey Foundation.
Unsurprisingly, Chris remains close friends with his teammate, Brendan Talwar. The latter is a postdoctoral scholar in the Semmens Lab at Scripps Oceanography. As part of his research into fishery ecology, he studies sustainable fishing, healthy seafood, and the protection of threatened species. He’s also a member of researcher Brice Semmens’ lab at Scripps, where he is a part of the IUCN World Conservation Congress Shark Specialist Group. Furthermore, he’s also an Adjunct Scientist at the Cape Eleuthera Institute in the Bahamas. Although Brendan seems to prefer a veil of privacy over his life without social media, he recently started dabbling in content creation as one-half of the Shark Docs.
