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?
I really appreciate that you are keeping Troy and his sons. Glen, to is a wonderful person. I was kind of shocked not to see Liz or Jr. However, for some reason I think Willy kind of makes up for it. He is a real fighter. The new family is going to take some time to get used to if you are going to have a season eight, (which I truly hope you do.) Bruce and Ron are a great team as well Especially with the new puppy! Please, please have a season eight, Troy is my favorite. I will… Read more »
I would love for the original cast to return
I Love Swamp People and I like the cast but I do still watch I just don’t like Frenchy much but I did like jeromy and David. Please keep this show on the air.
Why did some cast members get cut in the first place ? Everybody on that show made it exciting too watch . I want them too come back and make it more exciting . Please don’t take Swamp People off air .I,m a big huge fan
I tried watching season 7. The new folks on the show are not making it. I can’t believe they cut some of the best people on the show. Not watching it anymore, just not the same.
Everyone on swamp people do a dangerous and excellent job, the show won’t be the same without the original people especially Willie and Liz’s families.
I’ve got to tell history channel I think your crazy for cutting the people on the swamp people series, I love watching Liz and her family, and Joe and Tommy LaFontaine, Jeremy and his step dad, why did you do such a stupid thing like that taking them off the show, I’m not going to watch History Channel anymore if this is what you do take good people off the show I’m done . I will not watch your channel anymore, you should be ashamed of what you did, your terrible.

Sad way to do anyone but especially folks that watch the show want now
Should not have cut Liz and her crew and Jeromy and David and the original folks we loved to watch. Too bad another family quits swamp.people..

What a double cross for the fans and the swamp people cut from the final season. Once again the executives in charge have destroyed a good show and all those involved with its success. It isn’t the same show and it is very disappointing to see such interesting characters dropped for some whim by a clueless executive. The show is already over for me because so many old characters are gone. I love the Landrys but the rest of the swamp people are gone. Great way to kill a good show.
I’ve been watching from the beginning and am so mad they r going off air. I agree with those of u about r.j. and other. I could not stand his beating any more so I have just fast forward though them. The father is the worst. It’s asham the tTV people do this to the fans. I love all of them but the father , the one I spoke of at the top. Y r they canceling the show? Have people stopped watching? I willmiss them all and wish them all good luck
Who was doing the beating? Who or what were he beating?
This season of Swamp People is just not the same. Good thing it is the last because many of us will not watch any more. How could you have a final season without Liz and Jermonie and David. It was shoot’em Liz that drew us into the show. Very disappointing. Miss her and the boys. You have really upset your fan base.
Oh yes, I am 61 and hubby is 60 in case I didn’t say. Family relative is 33. My husband’s parents are 88 & 89. I know a lot of younger people that watch Swamp People. It appeals to all age groups. Oh yes the show about the wreckage of the largest treasure on a ship wrecked, has nothing to do with the wreck wanted to be found. It is greed. He obviously has money as he has enough technology to use to find it.
Please excuse my typing errors, doing this laying down. I will correct some sentences for you. Re: husband was,supposed to,say he has to go to dr. RE: family member should be close family member. The Thank God was because he was able to get annulment and even his Dr’s. Don’t want his ex or her family contacting us as her brother threatened to kill us on Facebook. Re: the family with 7 kids was supposed say they divorced then gave her a show I think called Kate plus 7 or 8. I don’t remember what channel it was on. Or… Read more »
I will watch with a broken heart. I have come to love all of them. What hurts more is that the series is cancelled yet shows like Join or Die, which in my opinion is horrible is on. Somehow, someway we need to wake up A&he network to get Swamp People continue and not let Season 7 be the final season. What can we do. I am willing to email and write or even call and complain. Is anyone else??????? Some info IF? A&E see this my husband is disabled with COPD, I am disabled with Severe Spinal Stenosis. He… Read more »
