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 love watching “Swamp People “. Troy and his family, Willie, Bruce and Ron, R.J and Jay Paul and I love when Glenn makes a guess appearance. I could just watch these guys all day. Well Frenchy is funny too. The last couple of years it seemed like it had so many people that it was just going from one to the other. Then last year it seemed it was more like it was all about Liz and her family. Glad it’s back to what it started out to be. Really enjoying it this year. Thank you
I love the original cast, and the show. It was the chemistry between the people that drew me in. Their heart for the land, and respect for nature, and their love of family and friends, made me want to move to LA. This is not a t.v. series where the actors keep their roles, usually, till the show is cancelled. But in a reality-type production, the peoples lives are being documented as well. We’ve learned to enjoy being invited into their world, too. For this viewer, I’m having a hard time accepting cast changes. The original mix of people made… Read more »
PLEASE bring back the old cast too. I have NO IDEA why they were axed, but they need to come back along with the ones on there now. It’s nice to see a woman like Liz and her daughter getting them gators just like the guys do!
i agree totally they all play an important tying the show together and making it work as well as it does
Please bring back David and Jeromy, Liz, and Junior and Willie. They were all great. I’m not too hot on the new people. Definitely not as interesting as the ones I mentioned. Trapper Joe and Tommy were also better than the Edgar’s. The only original cast members i am tired of is RJ and his son. They don’t add much to the show in my opinion, although I do like their air boat and wonder why nobody else uses one. Also, i feel like the show is too much about the Landry’s now. Mix it up producers!!
please bring old ones back as Liz, David Jermony along with ones on their now as Troy and his family, Glenn, Edgars family, J Paul RJ , Ron Bruce
Please bring back the original cast of swamp people, we enjoyed it so much,
. Just bought season 7 and don’t like the new people, probably won’t be buying and more dvds
I really liked these they just 2 down earth good ole boys that family was one of their main priorities…They would do what ever they had too do for one another…
Now enough about their working side lets not forget their craziness!!! I WILL TO SAY YES I MISS THESE 2 BUT GONNA STOP WATCHING SHOW …BUT THE “SWAMP LEGENDS” DID MAKE THE SHOW,, BUT NEEDS RECONSIDERED!!!!!!!
I love the show and not keeping the original cast is like watching Gilligens Island without Gilligen…I find it upsetting that the people who gave you (HC)high ratings that you treat them like this..I still will watch the show but not as much…I think…let me rephrase that ….I KNOW your making a big mistake.
I enjoyed Swamp People when the ALL of the original cast were on the show. If it ain’t broke don’t “fix” it!
Please bring back my swamp people. They’re good for my health, because they kept me laughing….I love them. I’m waiting!!!!
I loved the ALL OF THE ORIGINAL CAST members of Swamp People. Please bring them back! This includes Liz and her family and the Edwards family. They were great. The show is NOT as good as it was when they were on. I’m not sure I’ll continue watching without them. Please bring them back!
I have watched Swamp People over the years since my retirement. This is one of the most intreging reality shows I have ever been addicted too. Even the repeats were great to watch. Please, please,please bring the episodes back.
These shows from season 7 just didnt seem ss interesting without the usual cast. Nice to give someone else a chance but i preferred watching Liz, Jeremy, David, Junior and Willie, ,… these are the folks we sre used to watching each week…..along with Bruce and the landrys. These other folks just dont seem as exciting. Im glad they will be doing another season, just please bring the others back!
Hate the new cast! Bring back the original guys! Although you could get rid of JR.
Bring Swamp People back
