First and Only Season of DC Universe’s “Swamp Thing” Coming to The CW
Much the same way they picked up the two seasons of Kevin Williamson’s “Tell Me a Story” from CBS All Access, we’ve learned that The CW has also acquired the first (and only) season of DC Universe’s “Swamp Thing.”
As you probably recall, DC Universe cancelled “Swamp Thing” before the first season even had a chance to air, but that premiere season was at least finished (albeit with a reduced episode count) and subsequently released onto home video early this year.
At this time, we don’t yet know when it’ll arrive on The CW.
Crystal Reed, Jennifer Beals, Virginia Madsen, Ian Ziering, Will Patton, Andy Bean, Kevin Durand, Henderson Wade, Jeryl Prescott and Maria Sten star in the series, produced by horror master James Wan.
Swamp Thing himself is played by Derek Mears (Predators, Friday the 13th).
“Swamp Thing” centers on CDC researcher Abby Arcane (Reed). When she returns to her childhood home of Houma, Louisiana, in order to investigate a deadly swamp-borne virus, she develops a surprising bond with scientist Alec Holland — only to have him tragically taken from her. But as powerful forces descend on Houma, intent on exploiting the swamp’s mysterious properties for their own purposes, Abby will discover that the swamp holds mystical secrets, both horrifying and wondrous — and the potential love of her life may not be dead after all.
The series, based on the DC characters created by Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson, is written by “Ash vs. Evil Dead” writer Mark Verheiden and IT co-writer Gary Dauberman.
The back half of “Chucky” Season 3 will bring three more episodes to the table in the coming weeks, with “Panic Room” (Season 3, Episode 6) set to air this Wednesday, April 17.
SYFY has provided us with a sneak peek clip from the new episode this afternoon, wherein a wheelchair-bound Chucky shares his renewal of purpose with Henry. Check it out below.
“Everyone dies, kid. Some of us more than once. But I realize now, the point is, to make a difference while we’re here. To leave a mark,” a wheezing, coughing Chucky explains to Henry.
In the mid-season premiere last week, a dying Chucky placed a call to an imprisoned Tiffany, wherein Tiffany encouraged the killer doll to go out in a blaze of glory. That advice is sure to make these final three episodes of “Chucky” Season 3 quite explosive, as Chucky has nothing left to lose. And he wants to remind the world that he’s the greatest serial killer of all time.
But is old age really going to be the thing that kills off Chucky once and for all? Or will he ultimately find a way to defeat death one more time? We’ll find out in the coming weeks…
Watch new episodes of “Chucky” on Wednesdays at 10/9c on SYFY and USA Network. If you miss them when they premiere, new episodes will be streaming on Peacock on Thursdays.
