Developed by Dolores Gavin with Pat Duke as the narrator, ‘Swamp People’ is a documentary series that showcases the lives of alligator hunters who reside in the swamps of the Atchafalaya River Basin in Louisiana. Their livelihood is solely dependent on alligator hunting that is carried out within strict wildlife restrictions. Since its premiere on History on August 22, 2010, the reality series has become a fan favorite among wildlife enthusiasts and nature lovers. Likewise, if you are intrigued by the show and are eager to watch it online, we’d like to tell you how to!
What Is Swamp People About?
‘Swamp People’ takes place during “alligator season” in Louisiana that usually lasts for 30 days. It is the time when alligator hunters gear up to kickstart their highly dangerous vocation based on an age-old custom of their tribe. These hunters are given tags that are associated with the number of kills. Once they run out of tags, they don’t have to continue hunting for the remainder of the season.
Speaking of which, every season focuses on different teams of alligator hunters. Sometimes, the show tends to digress from its affinity towards “alligator-hunting” and instead sheds light on other aspects of the lives of the people living in the swamp, making it an engaging watch. So here are all the options available for streaming the series!
