Shemar Moore got his wish! After CBS cancelled the SWAT series late last week, the network and Sony TV went back to the table, worked things out, and reversed its decision, Moore and others connected to the show headed to social media to express their joy over the series being renewed for a seventh and finale season. A 13-episode season will air during the 2023-24 broadcast television year.
Starring Moore, Alex Russell, Jay Harrington, Kenny Johnson, David Lim, and Patrick St. Esprit, the series follows Sergeant Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson (Moore) as he leads the Special Weapons And Tactics unit of the LAPD.
After CBS cancelled the series, Moore went to Instagram to ask fans to “make some noise” to encourage the network to reverse its decision. He returned to his Instagram to express his feelings about the surprise final season renewal.

Season six wraps on May 19th. A premiere date for SWAT season seven will likely be announced this summer.
What do you think? Do you enjoy watching the SWAT TV series? Are you glad the CBS series has been renewed for a final season?
Awesome!!!! Love this show!!!
GREAT NEWS !!!!!!!!
The show is good, although of late, it has lacked a little of the sparkle, saved mainly by the exploits in other countries.
It does seem that it will be a final season though, so it will be interesting to see what Shemar Moore says about that when it comes to it’s closure.
Love love that they are back wish more years but at least one more hear
So happy to hear CBS was paying attention to what we were all saying!!! Thank you for keeping SWAT going for another season!! We never miss an episode!
So happy to hear SWAT is coming back for a 7th season. Hopefully they can wrap up all the character storylines. I am sad to see this show end as it was always interesting & exciting. I am looking forward to the remaining episodes.
Yes, that’s what I’m talking about, renewing one of the best shows on TV, let’s continue after season 7 as well. I love Shemar Moore & the cast! Keep SWAT on after season 7 too!!! Do the right thing by their fans!!!!
