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.

*5/6/20 update: CBS has renewed the SWAT TV series for a fourth season.
I love, love Swat and I feel it should definitely be ccx renewed for season 4. I look forward to my Swat fix on Wednesday nights. Please renew
I love SWAT its my favorite show please RENEW please. #4SeasonofSWAT.
Please renew S.W.A.T it is one of my favorite shows
PULEEEEEEEZ keep the show on!!! The actors chosen are all in perfect sync and fit so well together. The story lines and action throughout keep me on the edge of my seat every time I watch.
Love SWAT and the police stories as well as seeing their families. But not excited about the side story for Chris. Prefer the action of their jobs over working on setting up a threesome. Love their commitment to each other and their efficient work practices. Exciting stories and love seeing folks commit to people in a neighborhood and see it revitalize for the folks there already!
Love Swat. Please renew for 4 th season
I like seat and hope it has a season 4 and my teanagers like it to and it was hard enough talking about men making out on tv . Please get rid of the woman having the threesome for told them to ignore it but you put it in our face. What’s next a orgie
We love Swat! Great ensemble cast and story lines! I sure hope it is renewed for another season!!!!!


Definitely should have season 4. Great story lines, action, and fantastic writing.
We like the show, but don’t enjoy the threesome storyline.
Renew!!
This show is great it always bring a new situation and something different to each episode love it shemar Moore is just born to be a very good actor in violent movies and shows
I would like to see shemar in a different role. Swat is just another violent show on TV. He is playing a similar role from his last show. I am not impressed. What was the point of leaving ncis.
He wasn’t in NCIS. It was Criminal Minds…
I love the show and want Season 4 but who is the middle aged woman giving orders?… She needs to go!!
Love SWAT and can’t understand the low ratings. Good police show and great actors.
I totally agree JoAnne.
Love SWAT — Renew!!!!
