The python hunters return to the Florida Everglades for a fifth season of Swamp People: Serpent Invasion, only to find that their slithery adversaries have multiplied and evolved. The new generation of Burmese pythons poses an even greater threat to the delicate ecosystem, prompting the hunters to up their game and call in reinforcements. Zak and Aaron enlist the help of a local expert, hoping his knowledge of the swamps will lead them to a substantial python jackpot.
Meanwhile, Troy reunites with his former hunting partner, Pickle, adding more firepower to the python pursuit. Bruce and Kaylyn revisit a familiar hunting ground, a location that yielded a close encounter with a massive python in the past, while others venture into uncharted territory in their quest to curb the invasive species.
This season of Swamp People: Serpent Invasion underscores the ongoing ecological crisis in the Everglades. The Burmese pythons, with their voracious appetites and lack of natural predators, are decimating native wildlife populations. The hunters’ mission takes on a heightened sense of urgency as they work to protect the fragile balance of this unique environment.
Swamp People: Serpent Invasion airs Thursdays at 10/9c on History.
