Last season, despite some lower than average ratings, CBS renewed SWAT for a third season. Will the numbers improve this time around? Will SWAT be cancelled or renewed for season four? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
A police drama series, the SWAT TV show stars Shemar Moore, Stephanie Sigman, Alex Russell, Jay Harrington, Lina Esco, Kenny Johnson, David Lim, Patrick St. Esprit, Amy Farrington, with Debbie Allen, Obba Babatundé, Gabrielle Dennis, and Deshae Frost 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). They work under the direct supervision of L.A. Metro Captain Jessica Cortez (Sigman) with Commander Robert Hicks (St. Espirit) managing all Metro Division S.W.A.T. units.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly in the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival.

What do you think? Do you like the SWAT TV series on CBS? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a fourth season?
*5/6/20 update: CBS has renewed the SWAT TV series for a fourth season.
This last show went too far into the liberal world of hate. Sorry dropping the show on my DVR. SWAT will lose ratings just like Madam Secretary from leaning too far left. Writers and producers live in a fairytale land if they don’t think their ridiculous hate won’t affect them. Good ridden..
We love all the characters, especially Hondo & the guy in second place.
The one who has all those kids. Love the girl that is tough, & then not so tough.
Love the cop who she kissed, then ignored him. Love them all !!!
Can El this show its as bad now as was before years ago
NO CANCELLATION PLEASE I LOVE THIS MOVIE AND HONDO
I love this show! But I get dizzy sometimes when the camera does that circle around and around the characters. It’s very annoying. Otherwise it’s a great show.
