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?
Extremely disappointed by the cuts. It was a perfect group of people showing what life is like on the swamp. The 2 that should have been cut, RJ & Jay Paul, have the biggest, the best, the newest & the most toys to catch their alligators that they really don’t fit with the rest who really need to make a living. The new management need their heads examined as to try to fix something that is not broken!!
Agree completely!!
It is really truly sad how our television entertainment is so twisted. This show is a true reality of family survival. I have watched every season and look forward to the next season. I’m sure some anti whatever felt a protest coming on because that is what our world has come to. Our television is nothing but bickering killing one another and not having good for one another. I’m really disappointed in the History Channel. I miss you Liz, Willie, Junior, David and Jerome.
Just watched premier and it sucked, way to ruin one of my brother and mines favorite shows. To many new cast members, this ” dispute” between troy and rj is obliviously stagged and pointless, and on top of it all they mited all the gunshots during the show such bull ****. So disappointed i may stop watching #@historychannel all together!
Why would they want to delete anyone from this program? Adding new characters is a good thing, there’s plenty to go around. Why do people have to ruin a good thing?! Everyone that I’ve talked to is upset that this is the last season of swamp people.
my favorite show since steve Irwin left us. why did you do that to your show, gave me something to look forward to. the people you took off, junior & willie, liz & family, david & jeromy, all like family, I have grown to know these people like family for last seven seasons, I even have a choot em shirt in my closet. I am so very upset! please, do the right thing, and bring them back!
Please do not cancel. Have been watching since the beginning. Not happy you do not have Liz on either. Crazy decision.
It’s a total shame they couldn’t keep all the originals together for last season. The viewers deserve that.. I don’t know all the particulars but I think they could have come up with some aggreement especially for the final season. Shame on History Channel or production company.
I won’t be watching the series this year unless they bring the cast member that all of them!
We enjoy Swamp People. Please do not cancel the program. Thank you
Another good down to earth show going to the sidelines. Just goes to shows that the networks will stop product if they can’t make money off the program. If you record it and skip all the advertising you only get about 40 minute’s of programming.
Why is it the good shows are always being messed with.
No don’t cancel it. Put Liz back!!!!!!
this is a shame like so many people have said they are like family and now i see your ending the show all together. i hope someone else will pick up the show
My Husband & I R both Disabled, I have MS & my Husband has other health iss. Watching Swamp People has always been a HIGH LIGHT for us to watch, but now that They’ve taken some of the main people off there is no reason to watch it anymore, The New MGR’S have ruined a Great Show!
When R we going to know what the New MGR. R going to do about R Old Timers? U see Watching a show U get used to seeing the reg. People & U feel comfortable W/Them, Then someone steps in & RIPS the whole show apart W/Out giving the Watchers a vote as to who they want to see, thats like someone coming into Ur house & ripping out Ur Fav, Chair, when U just got it feeling the way U wanted it to feel, HOW WRONG IS THAT? I’d like to go into the producers house & take out… Read more »
I personally am very saddened about the cut of these major cast members, lizz brought something special to the show along with the other members that have been cut, without them the show has very little interest to me, I will watch it but it’s not the same , Which is a shame, swamp people is one of my very favorite shows, I had been looking forward to watching this season and with it being the last im very disappointed to not see these people in it :.(.
