There’s some scandal stirring up at the swamp. It’s been reported that several castmembers of the History Channel’s reality series Swamp People were cut from season seven, which is currently in production.
Now, fans of the show are taking the series’ social media accounts to protest the changes.
Swamp People, which premiered in 2010, follows a group of Louisiana natives who hunt alligators in the Atchafalaya Swamp.
Back in August, castmembers Jeromy Pruitt, David LaDart, and Queen Gator Liz announced on their respective Facebook pages they would not be returning for season seven of the History Channel series.
Fans have expressed disappointment in reaction to the cast cuts, with some saying they will no longer watch the series. On the series’ official Facebook page, one fan commented, “Without Bruce, Ron, Willie, Junior and Liz the new season holds no interest.”
No word yet on when season seven will premiere.
From Jeromy Pruitt and David LaDart, on their Facebook page:
Just wanted to let everyone one know that we just got the call from Swamp People on History that we were cut from the show. We had a great time an met so many wonderful people. Thank you to all the fans. You haven’t seen the last of Jeromy Pruitt and David LaDart aka the SWAMP LEGENDS”
What do you think? Are you a fan of Swamp People? Will you watch the series without these castmembers?
There is only so many times you can watch someone hunt an alligator.
I love that show, couldn’t wait for the new series to begin but was very sadden to hear about the changes to the cast. That is a big mistake because they are all vital to the success of that show. I don’t know what i will watch in place of swamp people. This is a sad day for all of the fans of swamp people. I just hate to hear this and hope this will be corrected.
3 words apply. Stupid, stupid, stupid. I won’t be watching. I really didn’t expect anything different. Like “Gold Rush” , “Dual Survivor”, and many more they lure you in and then get rid of the important people that make the show click. What a shame.
This is an OUTRAGE! Way to sucker punch our favorite people on this TERRIFIC show!!! I am heart broken over this. Ridiculous move!
I wont be watching there taking some of the best people off, looks like no show left anyways!
I will not watch it without Liz and Willie the show does not interest me
That is just f*cked up ! We love to see David and Jeremy fighting and swamping . And the edwards too are you telling me that they are cut also ! Why watch it !
Discovery Nerwork who owns History Channel has lost its mind. I love, love Swamp People. Bring back the old cast for heavens sake, and the series. We won’t watch this year. Will wait to see if the network listens to the fans. My family and I truly care about these people and enjoy watching them! We did not know they weren’t coming back until last week or I would have went ballistic sooner. You hooked the viewers as was your intent, then think you can do whatever. Well you can, but your network will suffer. TV is for the viewer,… Read more »
please keep swamp people on love the show. doesn’t matter who is on it,but will miss the regulars, but please try to work something out. i wait from season to season to watch. thank you
The only complaint I have is when operate an air boat with a rifle in in hand.
Very unsafe. Thank you
You have a great show that I watch every week, It is one of the few good programs on T V. The whole crew Troy and his family, Joe and Tommy, Bruce and his side kick, .Willie and .his brother, Jr. and his wife.and Liz and the other hunters really make that program . Don’t mess up a great program by getting rid of people.
As long as the backbone of the show RJ, Jay Paul, Troy, Willie and Bruce return all is well.
But, but, but, What about this: “The show is currently in the middle of its sixth season. Although History Channel has not announced whether or not a seventh season of the show may be coming, it seems likely given the fact that the ratings past season 3 have only continued to grow and hold steady. – See more at: http://cabletvinternet.s9.com/swamp-people-tv-series.html” I would hate to not see the gator hunters around. They really keep me entertained. It is admirable to see people that do in times of struggle, and how proud they are of their traditions, no matter how weird they… Read more »
Each of these people are what made the show unique. I see this as the downfall of the series. Very sad indeed
We started watching the show with all these wonderful people and now you want to take away Liz from the show. She was awesome to watch and loved watching her do things her Daddy taught her how to do. Why do you have to ruin a good thing. We enjoyed the cast on the show and now it just takes away some of the excitement. I cannot imagine how you making things for the better by taking away these castmembers.
