'Swamp Thing' Wasn't Actually Filmed in Louisiana, Where There Are a Ton of Swamps

If you are staring at 'Swamp Thing' tonight on The CW, you may well be questioning where it was filmed. Because there is SO much swamp pictures. Here's the true deal.

If you are tuned in Swamp Thing on The CW, then you most likely know a little bit in regards to the show's backstory. The first episode in the beginning aired on DC Universe in 2019, however is now airing on The CW as a broadcast debut (as opposed to an official pickup). So, yes, this technically method we have no affirmation of a new season of Swamp Thing ever happening — however so far, the reviews and reception were actually just right (Rotten Tomatoes gave it a score of 94 percent!). The high quality is healthier than your average cable TV show, and it's true to its DC comic e-book origins.

But alas, this airing on The CW could be our simplest chance to look at (or re-watch) it. If you may have started staring at for the first time, you could have some questions. For example...where was Swamp Thing filmed?

Here's where 'Swamp Thing' used to be filmed.

Although Swamp Thing takes place in Louisiana (where there are masses of swamps), it is actually filmed in a different state altogether. According to IMDb, filming places come with Wilmington, N.C. and EUE/Screen Gems Studios (additionally positioned in North Carolina). You can actually to find behind-the-scenes photos of Swamp Thing set on Star News Online, which mostly shows the production team (should you reside in Los Angeles or even New York City, you will have most commonly come across a shoot for a TV show whilst getting groceries — it is most commonly cameras and trailers). 

North Carolina is actually a popular spot to provide TV displays and movies. According to Comicbook.com, The Hunger Games, Iron Man 3, and A Walk to Remember have been all shot in North Carolina. Apparently with Swamp Thing, the group were given "a little bit more freedom in terms of production schedules" in North Carolina as opposed to the extra saturated Hollywood. Sadly, in spite of the freedom the positioning gave, it didn't prevent the display from getting the axe. In reality, it used to be reported that manufacturing ended faster than the forged thought. The season went from thirteen episode to only 10.

At the time WECT News reported, "Cast and crew members got word of the changes during filming on Tuesday night. The reaction on the set was one of shock, said sources who did not want to be named." Per SlashFilm, in a now-deleted Instagram put up, actress Virginia Madsen, who played Maria Sunderland, wrote, "I’m beyond sad. What a terrible decision. We have been cut to the core by those who have never set foot into the Swamp. And despite the rule I am going to use the hashtag #swampthing." 

Why did 'Swamp Thing' get canceled?

It used to be by no means explained why Swamp Thing was canceled in advance. Some believe producers thought it might be a "dud." Other rumors in regards to the show not getting enough financial support, had been debunked. According to The Hollywood Reporter, "Contrary to some early unconfirmed reports, tax incentives had nothing to do with the sudden cancellation as Swamp Thing was awarded $5 million in incentives for the pilot and an additional $12 million for the remainder of the season."

Fingers crossed The CW sees attainable in The Swamp Thing and provides it the assets it merits for more seasons. For the time being, we're going to have to simply experience getting to peer Season 1 on The CW, Tuesdays at Eight p.m. ET.
