DC Universe is at an all-time high in terms of its movies as after Aquaman, Shazam! has also done wonders both in terms of the critical acclaim and box office collections too.

The universe is also planning to extend with multiple series in works and one of them was Swamp Thing which was in the talks for a long time. In fact, the teaser of the show went live a while ago too.

But what makes things interesting is that according to a report in Batman-News.Com, the Swamp Thing series may be cutting its first season short.

The series has been filming in the Wilmington, North Carolina area since Nov. 2018 and was expected to continue shooting through May of this year. However, a new report from the Wilmington Star News says the crew got some surprising news on Tuesday evening.

According to the report, the crew was informed that the series would be wrapping production with episode 10 despite the plan calling for 13 episodes. Writers would be in the process of adjusting the script to account for the shortened season.

The potentially most disturbing portion of the report is that the crew who shared the information said they were told it was because Warner Bros. is assessing the future of the DC Universe service. Having only launched this past Sept. that does seem a bit fast for such an assessment to already be happening, but the streaming landscape has changed significantly in that time period.
