S.W.A.T. Spin-Off Announced After Series Finale

After CBS canceled S.W.A.T. for a third time following its eighth season, the police drama starring Shemar Moore as Sergeant Daniel 'Hondo' Harrelson concluded with a two-hour finale featuring Russian mercenaries threatening Los Angeles with explosives. The finale showcased the team's unity amidst high-stakes action and the destruction of their headquarters, ending with emotional goodbyes. Following strong fan support and despite CBS’s slate changes, Sony Pictures Television announced a new spin-off, S.W.A.T. Exiles, with Moore set to reprise his role. Production on the spin-off begins this summer, and the show is planned for a 10-episode run. Moore credited the fans for both the extended run of the original series and the opportunity for the franchise to continue. The legacy of Hondo and his team will live on through the new series.
