What’s This TV Show About?
A police action drama series airing on the CBS television network, the SWAT TV show stars Shemar Moore, Alex Russell, Jay Harrington, 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 Jim Street (Russell), 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.
Season Six Ratings
The sixth season of SWAT averaged a 0.41 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 5.01 million viewers in the live+same day ratings (includes all DVR playback through 3:00 AM). Compared to season five, that’s down by 8% in the demo and up by 17% in viewership. While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but the higher-rated series are usually renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled. Find out how SWAT stacks up against other CBS TV shows.
SWAT has been renewed for a (final) season seven after initially being cancelled. Season seven will debut on February 16, 2024. Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Will CBS cancel or renew SWAT for season seven? Last season, the network moved this action series from Thursdays to Fridays, and the ratings grew. It’s no surprise that it’s back on that night. SWAT is produced by CBS Studios (keeping the show’s profits in-house) and picks up a lot of viewers in the live+7 day ratings. I think it will be renewed for season seven.

I watch SWAT here in the UK. We have nothing like the program here. Just to watch it I have to pay £12 per Month. And it’s worth every penny. I will surely miss the program. And seeing the group. They are such good actors. All I can say is GOOD LUCK
I love that show please don’t cancel!! Why do they leave those ridiculous sitcoms on and take the goods off! I dislike sitcoms. Some are so bad!!
Will swat come back for season 7?
It would be a crime,no pun intended, if you cancelled SWAT. I just recently found it again and got caught up. I love that show.
I am in the UK. It is a bit OTT I am fixed on it. Such handsom actors. Keep up the good work.
Thank you.
Yes, I think they should have a season seven. It’s a good show. The characters are very believable and likable. I really enjoy the show, and I would love to see how the characters develop even more than they have in the past, or if it’s a for finale of the Series then I hope it goes out with a bang, but I want a seventh season!
Love this show! Please renew it.
I love swat, please renew the show. And you should count older people watching. We’re home more than younger people.
SWatt is one of my favorites, renew it for season 7 and 8 ; do not cancell
