In 1975, the SWAT TV show — starring Steve Forrest, Robert Urich, Rod Perry, Mark Shera, and James Coleman — spun off from ABC’s TV series, The Rookies. Prior to its cancellation, SWAT ran for 37 episodes, over the course of two seasons. Decades later, the concept came back into vogue, and it premiered in 2003 as a feature film with Samuel L. Jackson and Colin Farrell. Now, CBS has rebooted the police drama, but will a new generation be receptive to it? Will SWAT be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned.

A high-action program, SWAT stars Shemar Moore, Stephanie Sigman, Alex Russell, Jay Harrington, Lina Esco, Kenny Johnson, and Peter Onorati. The CBS TV series 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), canine trainer Christina “Chris” Alonso (Esco), and expert driver, Dominique Luca (Johnson). 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 leads a rival unit. **Status update, below.
