Shemar Moore to Reprise Role as Hondo in Spinoff S.W.A.T. EXILES

The action drama series "S.W.A.T." was cancelled by CBS for a third time on May 16, and it seems this time it's final. But fans shouldn't fret, because Sony Pictures Television is spinning it off for a new show titled "S.W.A.T. Exiles" in which the original show's Shemar Moore will reprise his role as Daniel "Hondo" Harrelson. Also, the 200-person production crew that worked on "S.W.A.T." will get to keep their jobs when production resumes this summer in Los Angeles.

Here’s the spinoff's official logline: "After a high-profile mission goes sideways, Hondo is pulled out of forced retirement to lead a last-chance experimental SWAT unit made up of untested, unpredictable young recruits. Hondo must bridge a generational divide, navigate clashing personalities, and turn a squad of outsiders into a team capable of protecting the city and saving the program that made him who he is."

Casting is still underway. Jason Ning ("Lucifer") will take over as showrunner as part of his recently renewed overall deal with Sony. The studio plans to produce and distribute the 10-episode series globally by finding the right homes and partners for these new stories to reach the passionate "S.W.A.T." fanbase and attract new viewers. Executive producers include Moore, Neal H. Moritz and Pavun Shetty of Original Film, as well as James Scura.

Moore had this to say about the new project: "My eight seasons on S.W.A.T. have been epic and memorable, we entertained the world, defied the odds, came back from the dead twice, and continued to woo fans and families worldwide. I am excited for this next generation and iteration of S.W.A.T. with Sony".

Katherine Pope, SPT Studios President added: "We couldn't be more excited to bring the next chapter of S.W.A.T. to life — both for our incredibly dedicated fans of the original franchise and for a new generation of viewers. We're grateful to our incredible partners Neal H. Moritz, Pavun Shetty, Jason Ning and Shemar Moore for embarking on this journey with us. This team's commitment to the global fanbase, to our beloved crew and to our city runs deep!"
