The drama will return for Season 2.
March 27, 2018
CBS announced today that S.W.A.T. will be returning for a second season. The early pickup comes in the midst of the drama's freshman run, which has eight episodes remaining ahead of its season finale in May.
The series premiered late last fall with an initial 13-episode order that ended up faring well for the network. It was just a few weeks until the show was given an additional seven episodes, followed by two more in December. That brought its total count to 22 episodes - a full season's worth.
S.W.A.T. has actually done a solid job to improve CBS' fortunes on Thursday nights at 10:00pm. The network has had trouble finding a reliable show to put in that time slot for a number of years now, so S.W.A.T.'s consistent performance no doubt ensured its return for a second season.
Shemar Moore stars in the Los Angeles-based series, which follows a former Marine tasked with running a specialized tactical unit that acts as the city's last stop in law enforcement. Raised on the streets, he is torn between his loyalty to his roots and his allegiance to his new brothers in blue as he works to bridge the divide between his two worlds.
Look for Season 2 to premiere as part of CBS' 2018-2019 lineup this fall.

Absolutely formulaic and tactically embarrassing. And before any keyboard warriors jump in, I am on a SWAT team, and playing video games in your parent's basement doesn't qualify you to comment on tactics and methods.

It took a few episodes, but I did come to enjoy this show for what it is. I think the scene when Hondo visits the mother in jail turned the tables for me.
This is one show that I prefer the remake to the original as they have added layers that weren't in the original. I'm glad it will get more time to develop characters. I hope they use the additional episodes wisely.

This show reminds me of Hawaii 5-O. They are both so predictable and dumbed down. I quit watching both.

The first episode sucked but it got better, some of those on the S.W.A.T look well past retirement age.
