Last season, SWAT escaped being cancelled and ended up being the lowest-rated scripted series on CBS to be renewed. For 2021-22, the network relocated it to Friday nights where expectations can be lower but are still expected to perform. Is this the show’s last chance? Will SWAT be cancelled or renewed for season six? Stay tuned. *Status Update Below.
A police action drama series, the SWAT TV show stars Shemar Moore, Alex Russell, Jay Harrington, Lina Esco, Kenny Johnson, David Lim, and Patrick St. Esprit. The crime thriller centers on Sergeant Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson (Moore), a Los Angeles native and former Marine who’s been tapped to lead a new “last stop” Special Weapons And Tactics unit (S.W.A.T.). The rest of the team includes seasoned David “Deacon” Kay (Harrington), cocky newcomer Jim Street (Russell), canine trainer Christina “Chris” Alonso (Esco), expert driver Dominique Luca (Johnson), and informant-connected Victor Tan (Lim). Responsible for the management of all Metro Division S.W.A.T. units is Commander Robert Hicks (St. Esprit), a senior LAPD official with the Special Operations Bureau.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.

Note: These are the final national ratings, including all live+same day viewing and DVR playback (through 3:00 AM). Early fast affiliate ratings (estimates) are indicated with an “*”.

I absolutely love S.W.A.T – I feel like Shemar Moore’s character is very similar to his character on Criminal Minds,except this time he finally gets to be the leader,which is just exciting! Lots of action in this and very emotional too and definitely kept me guessing what would happen next
I really swat to be renewed. It’s a great show and the actors are terrific.
