No Season 9 for the CBS drama.
March 6, 2025
Word is out that CBS has cancelled S.W.A.T. after eight seasons. The news comes with nine episodes remaining in what will be the drama's final run after what has been a bumpy last couple of years.
The series premiered in 2017 and established itself as a reliable performer for CBS until it was unexpectedly cancelled in 2023 after six seasons. A few days later the network reversed its decision with a renewal for a seventh and final season. That move was eventually walked back as well, with an eighth-season renewal a year later. This time, however, the cancellation will likely be the end of the series for good.
"It's heartbreaking news, primarily because it's been such an immense pleasure working with this cast and crew to put out a show that we've always been proud of," executive producer and showrunner Andrew Dettmann said in a statement. "They are truly an extraordinary group of people who have all worked so hard and have been so dedicated for all these eight seasons, overcoming countless challenges. I can't give them enough credit. I feel so privileged to have been a part of the S.W.A.T. family."
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.

Everyone here needs to relax.
It was a corny cop show that tried for social commentary. The original SWAT show from the 70s did, too.
So did Dragnet, Adam-12, even Police Story.
People need to stop looking for political agendas where there aren't any. Networks care about ratings and costs, period.
That's why shows get cancelled: low ratings or they cost too much to make, or both.

This show was major copaganda and people trying to save America from the right wing intruders don’t want that. If this show was "woke" it would have stayed on the air. We all know that woke shows are what viewers want. Woken up or broken up. Too much copaganda on CBS was losing it viewers. They knew it and starting to take action. Soon CBS will start to reflect the views of the country’s protectors not its infectors.
Or it was just a generic cop show on CBS and as viewers have choices that don’t choose that anymore. It’s why a lot of them are gone. The 2010’s burned the public out on them.

Finally!! It was the same script every show. Same old, same old.
Good riddance. And whoever wrote the theme music should be put in the SuperMax with it playing 24/7.

i DO enjoy the show, still, and dont watch series with a political outset. I just watch it as is and dont think about "ohhh BLM.. ohh WOKE" i am just watching to watch a nice well acted and nice action packed police series...i am sorry to see this go especially as at the "same" time FBI spinoffs go as well, so its a sad day for me

I enjoy the show, but this isn't the least bit surprising; the surprise was that it got un-cancelled last minute at the end of last season. It was inevitable that it'd get cancelled again by the time this season ended.
Still, eight seasons is a hell of a run.
