Fresh off the Exclusive News on the Swamp Thing story details we reported yesterday, today we got another one just for you folks.

Multiple sources have told me that Len Wiseman creator of the Underworld film series is set to direct the pilot for SWAMP THING, which is set to start filming in the Fall over at Wilmington, NC.

The series follows U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) researcher Abby Arcane as she returns to her childhood home of Houma, Louisiana, in order to investigate a deadly swamp-borne virus. There, she bonds 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, that could potentially bring the love of her life back to her.

Swamp Thing will make its debut on the upcoming DC Universe streaming service, which will officially launch this fall. The digital service will be a hub for comic book fans featuring original series (including Titans), a catalog of DC movies and digital comic books.

Swamp Thing is set to premiere in 2019.
