The CW to kill some time in quarantine by airing DC's cancelled Swamp Thing series

With production shut down during the pandemic, it’s only a matter of time before networks and streaming services run out of hot, fresh content to inject into our eyeballs. In an effort to offer viewers something, anything they haven’t seen yet, The CW has acquired rights to four shows that have already aired elsewhere—so they’re not new-new, but they’re new-to-you (fingers crossed!). In an official press release, the network announced acquisition of Coroner (an hour-long investigative drama), Dead Pixels (a British comedy from Succession’s Jon Brown), the star-studded Tell Me A Story (which reimagines fairy tales as—get this—psychological thrillers, will wonders never cease), and Swamp Thing.
