Last season, SWAT was one of CBS’ lowest-rated scripted TV series. While the TV show doesn’t seem to be in danger of being cancelled right now, it could certainly end up on the chopping block ahead of the network’s higher-rated series. Will SWAT be renewed for season five? Stay tuned. *Status Update Below.
The SWAT TV show stars Shemar Moore, Alex Russell, Jay Harrington, Lina Esco, Kenny Johnson, David Lim, Patrick St. Esprit, and Amy Farrington, with Bre Blair, Obba Babatundé, Deshae Frost, Rochelle Aytes, Susan Chuang, Chris L. McKenna, and David Gautreaux in recurring roles. 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.). 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 dear. Hondo’s group 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.

S.W.A.T is the best show on TV right now..
I’ve been hooked since episode 1. All the characters are fantastic and I always look forward to each episode. S.W.A.T should definitely get another season. I think a better time slot would be even better.
Hi Theresa thank you for your comment.
I love this show and all of it’s characters and I love seeing how much the show has reached across the world in other countries enjoying American made shows and how hard the show has tired to show both sides of the story. How women have a big role in the show showing how hard it is to do the work and how hard it is to fit in a place full of men the show has a lot to offer and it’s growing with every episode so glad that CBS took a chance with S.W.A.T now let get a… Read more »

I think swat should get another season because the show is good and people are inspire to watch it. they want a show about how people deal with issues and talk about it. I would rate the show with 10 stars. Keep the show on tv because it’s amazing. I like all the characters on the show.
Thank you
This show is great! I like how it incorporates current events along with a story line!
I have always liked this show until this season. It’s getting a little too political and preachy in my opinion. If I want politics I’ll read the news. The actors are great, but Shemar Moore’s character has a chip on his shoulder the size of Texas!
I love SWAT. I don’t now why the fans are not watching. The cast and story lines are really good. If things continue the way they are, it is unlikely they will be renewed.
Love this show I hope they keep this show going . Not many shows thats great to watch anymore Do to net work canceling great shows and keeping really dumb shows if they cancel this show I’ll be done with CBS and TV shows ill go back to watching movies
More people need to watch it live so that it gets renewed again. Tell your friends and family to watch live, post it on your socials do everything so that we get another season!
I think it’s an excellent show with great actors. I hope it will be renewed for season 5 & beyond!
I personally love the show at least there is action there.
I love the action shows too !!! I love all the actors on the show too!!!.
Catching the bad guys with a little home life !!!
