Are you a fan of Swamp Thing. The cast and creators of the DC Universe TV show are “shocked” by the series’ recent cancellation, reports TVLine and BusinessInsider.
The DC series, which just premiered on May 31st, “follows Abby Arcane as she investigates what seems to be a deadly swamp-born virus in a small town in Louisiana but soon discovers that the swamp holds mystical and terrifying secrets.” The cast includes Virginia Madsen, Andy Bean, Crystal Reed, Will Patton, and Jennifer Beals.
On Instagram, executive producer James Wan revealed he doesn’t know why DC Universe cancelled Swamp Thing but he did tell fans to continue watching:
Also, BusinessInsider spoke to several people who worked behind the scenes on Swamp Thing and apparently the cancellation came out of nowhere. As of reporting, DC Universe has not yet released an explanation for the swift cancellation but there is a theory that is has something to do with parent company WarnerMedia.
What do you think? Have you seen Swamp Thing? Will you watch the rest of the series?
I’ve enjoyed the series so far and will be sad that there will be no season 2. Check out the petition from Dave’s comment.

Let’s sign up, already.
Absolutely stupid to cancel after one episode. I will watch all of the episodes. It is darker than the previous tv show but enjoying it so far. Great cast and writers.
To cancel a shoe after one episode is rather stupid.
It makes more sense to keep it quiet until late in the show run, especially as viewing figures will naturally decrease following such an announcement,which will affect advertising revenue, unless the producers play dirty and pull the show from the schedule with no regard to loyal viewers.
After 2 episodes though, I can’t say that I am that impressed, although I generally give shows episodes, as some can get off the slow starts.
Ikr the show looks good, not great as Doom Patrol or Titans, but good enough to keep watching. Early cancellation announcements are not good for a brand show, cause people wont watch it if it’s cancelled so fast in time.
