What’s This TV Show About?
An CBS action-adventure drama, SWAT stars Shemar Moore, Stephanie Sigman, Alex Russell, Jay Harrington, Lina Esco, Peter Onorati, David Lim, and Patrick St. Esprit. The crime thriller centers on Sergeant Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson (Moore). A lifetime Los Angeles local and former Marine, Hondo has been tapped to lead a new “last stop” Special Weapons and Tactics unit. Thanks to his background, he is uniquely qualified to lead the team in a manner that also builds a bridge to the community he holds so dear. Hondo’s group includes the seasoned David “Deacon” Kay (Harrington), newcomer Jim Street (Russell), and canine trainer Christina “Chris” Alonso (Esco). They work under the supervision of L.A. Metro Captain Jessica Cortez (Sigman), a dedicated professional who also has a personal connection to Hondo. Meanwhile, Mumford (Onorati) leads a rival unit.
Season Two Ratings
The second season of SWAT averaged a 0.78 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 5.30 million viewers. Compared to season one, it is down by 17% and 10%, respectively. Find out how SWAT stacks up against the other CBS TV shows.
SWAT has been renewed for a third season which will debut October 2, 2019. Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Will CBS cancel or renew SWAT for season three? The ratings aren’t great but they’ve been pretty consistent. CBS needs newer dramas to help fill their schedule so I think it will be renewed. I’ll keep an eye on the Nielsens and update this page with breaking developments. Subscribe for free updates on any SWAT cancellation or renewal news.

Please bring Swat back
Please do not cancel SWAT. Please renew season 4 of SWAT.
I enjoy the team dynamics and the family connection they have with each other. Do not wish to see anymore of the threesome thing and was tempted to stop watching because of this weird, creepy story. Like Street and other characters. Hondo and Jess should have weathered the storm and Kris doesn’t deserve Street. Keep show going and keep love stories but make them last.
Yes I agree with the others about the threesome thing. I don’t agree with that and it’s a turn off for me. I would like to see Chris and Street get together. I also would like to see Chief Jessica and Hondo get back together and have a family.
I will continue to watch and I look forward to seeing more seasons.
I absolutely enjoyed watching SWAT and loved the characters. The only thing I don’t like is the three some relationship which is very inappropriate and very awkward. Hope the show doesn’t get discontinued. Awaiting for its return and really looking forward to seeing it air again.
I absolutely love S.W.A.T.!!! I never get bored with the characters, although that threesome thing is really weird.
I don’t generally binge watch anything, but I binge watch this one!! — and would be seriously disappointed to have it cancelled.
I hope it goes for more than 3 seasons.
Such a great show with exciting episodes. Sorry you have trashed it with the “three some” mixed sex scenes. So sad to see an otherwise exciting show go this way. This past weeks show (11/12/19, I think it was) will be my last watched episode. I hope your staff will see the wrong message that this sends to not only our youth, but to everyone that watches.

Yeah, even though I’ll continue to be a huge fan, I don’t like that threesome thing, either. I’m hoping she’ll end up with Street —- just Street.
