The drama will return for 2024-2025.
April 11, 2024
CBS announced today that S.W.A.T. has been renewed for an eighth season in 2024-2025. Coming with six episodes remaining in Season 7, the news is a bit of a surprise, as when the veteran drama was renewed for its seventh season, it was said to be its last.
"Here at CBS, we always 'stay liquid' and love a good dramatic twist, especially when it leads to an eighth season of S.W.A.T.!," said Amy Reisenbach, president of CBS Entertainment. "The show continues to resonate with viewers thanks to our talented cast led by Shemar Moore and our amazing writers and producers who keep the show relevant and action-packed. We're very pleased to renew it again and incredibly grateful to our partners at SONY, CBS Studios and Shemar for working so closely with us to bring it back for next season."
"S.W.A.T. IS BACK! BELIEVE IN MIRACLES! I am so proud of this show and the people and variables it has taken to make this show what it is and has become," said Shemar Moore, series star and executive producer. "I am so grateful to the fans around the world who have supported, watched, enjoyed and rooted for S.W.A.T.! It is entirely because of this support that S.W.A.T. will continue to shine! This is still a dream job for me... I love my S.W.A.T. crew, cast and writers and producers - we have made an incredible, fun, exciting, provocative and heartwarming show for the world to enjoy. Thank you to CBS and SONY for believing in S.W.A.T. and giving us this opportunity to shine!"
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.

Poor me, poor me, poor oppressed and under privileged me...
So down-trodden am I that I'm the leader of an elite police task force in one of the biggest and most influential cities in the world.

Yeah, CBS renews it after it cancelled it and half the regulars leave the show. Get set for the finale and do a 180 and now get used to a whole new cast for just one season. CBS doesn't know what it is doing.

This is great news! I can't wait to see what happens next. There are so many possibilities.

This is exciting news. I am very happy. P.S. L-2. If you do not like the show, do not watch it. Why have an opinion on something you dislike. I do not care for The Talk on CBS. Therefore my comments would not be valid if CBS decided to save it.

I never liked the show too much and was looking forward to the current season being its final season.
Chris had already quit, but Street was written out already. Luca was injured and retired out. Cabrera wasn't even in the prior episode. I suppose anybody who isn't killed off could be brought back in some degree/capacity, but flip-flopping or being wishy-washy on cancelling or not doesn't work.
I was hoping to see Shemar Moore in more bad product commercials.:)

Well you could knock me over with a feather. This is a big surprise....but a welcome one.

so they cancel the show, then Shemar goes on Instagram to explain how unfair the cancellation is, at least give us a finale, then the allow a final season ... and now another season? WOW - feels like they're admitting they made a mistake canceling it in the first place. I love this show and I hope it continues for years to come

Excellent. I am not worried at all. Shemar Moore can carry this show with any casting changes. All the characters are great, but this season has proved that life goes on without Street or Luca as regulars. Chris was awesome before she departed and season 6 was still good. I hope Deacon stays, but either way I am happy.

I have a really bad feeling that this is going to end up being a "Scrubs" situation and, now that they've written themselves into a corner by wrapping everything up before getting renewed for an extra season at the last minute, next season will be a disaster that the fans will pretend never existed.
Really hope I'm wrong on this one, but they've already written out half of the main cast in ways that can't easily be taken back with the episodes that have aired the past month or so.

This is fantastic news!!! This is my favorite network drama. This show is so different from all the NCIS shows. The ratings are great and the cast can rotate without hurting the storytelling. Great surprise.
