Set in the fictional Louisiana small town, Marais, the community finds itself drawn into an unrelenting world of supernatural horror after the arrival of Swamp Thing.

The upcoming DC horror series is expected to begin principal photography soon on location in North Carolina with Len Wiseman (Underworld), who also executive produces the series, helming the pilot episode written by executive producers Mark Verheiden (Battlestar Galactica) and Gary Dauberman (The Nun). Verheiden also serves as the series’ showrunner after a straight-to-series order by the premium streaming service this past May.
