Swamp Thing Canceled at DC Universe And Acquired By The CW

Back in June, five days after the first of the weekly episodes premiered on DC Universe, the streaming service canceled Swamp Thing. Despite the great reviews, the series was still canceled as it was predicted it would be a failure. However, Swamp Thing has a new home, as fresh off of adding the first two seasons of the CBS All Access anthology Tell Me a Story, The CW has acquired the rights to DC Universe’s Swamp Thing.

Swamp Thing, starring Crystal Reed and based on the DC comic book of the same name, will become the second DC Universe series to air on The CW, joining Stargirl, whose episodes will debut on the network a day after they launch on the streaming service.

The addition of Swamp Thing adds another notch on the belt of The CW as it has become the go-to for all your DC TV needs.
