Deadline brings word that Maria Sten (Straight Outta Compton, Channel Zero) will star opposite lead Crystal Reed in DC Universe’s Swamp Thing series as Liz Tremayne.
Liz Tremayne is a close childhood friend of Abby Arcane’s (Reed), who splits her time between reporting for the local paper and bartending at her aging father’s roadhouse bar.
The pilot is set to premiere in 2019 on the DC Universe digital subscription service.
Should Swamp Thing be picked up to series, it would join Titans in the live-action sector of DC Universe and other original series (albeit animated) Young Justice: Outsiders and Harley Quinn.
