January 23, 2024

CBS reversed its cancellation of S.W.A.T. after fans and the cast protested the decision on social media, awarding the series one final 13-episode season. That final season – the show’s seventh – will kick off on February 16, 2024 with episode one, “The Promise.”

New season seven episodes will air on Fridays at 8pm ET/PT.

Shemar Moore leads the cast as Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson, Jay Harrington stars as David “Deacon” Kay, David Lim is Victor Tan, Rochelle Aytes is Nichelle Carmichael, and Patrick St. Esprit is Robert ‘Bob’ Hicks. Kenny Johnson recurs as Dominique Luca and Alex Russell recurs as Jim Street.

“The Promise” Plot: The team heads to Mexico City to retrieve a fugitive who slipped from Hondo’s grasp 10 years ago. But when things go awry, old wounds are reopened and Hondo is once again on the killer’s trail, desperate to fulfill a decade-old promise. Part one of the season premiere was written by Kent Rotherham and directed by Billy Gierhart.

Inspired by the television series and the feature film, S.W.A.T. stars Shemar Moore as a former Marine and locally born and raised S.W.A.T. sergeant tasked to run a specialized tactical unit that is the last stop in law enforcement in Los Angeles. Torn between loyalty to where he was raised and allegiance to his brothers in blue, Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson strives to bridge the divide between his two worlds.
