Sony Pictures Television announced today that S.W.A.T. Exiles will air on Starz in the US beginning September 25. The spinoff series was announced over a year ago, shortly after 'S.W.A.T.' ended its 8-year run on CBS.

"The response to S.W.A.T. Exiles has been extraordinary and is a testament to the strength of the franchise, as well as the passion and commitment of Shemar Moore, Jason Ning and Neal H. Moritz, who have been outstanding partners throughout the process," said Keith Le Goy, Chairman, Sony Pictures Television. "As we continue to expand the S.W.A.T. universe, this project reflects our broader strategy of making bold investments in premium IP and leveraging our independent studio model to identify opportunities, move quickly and maximize value around the world. The commitment from STARZ, combined with robust worldwide sales, validates both the franchise's lasting appeal and the strength of Sony's global business."

"S.W.A.T. Exiles is coming in hot! I couldn't be more excited that STARZ is bringing this next chapter to audiences in the U.S. A huge thank you to Sony Pictures Television for believing in this franchise and continuing to invest in what we've built together. What makes this moment even more special is that we're reaching audiences in all major territories worldwide. Fans everywhere will get to experience this epic new ride together," said star Shemar Moore.

"S.W.A.T. Exiles engages a deeply passionate fanbase that aligns strongly with our audience," said Alison Hoffman, President, STARZ Networks. "We're thrilled to join forces with Sony to be the first place U.S. fans can experience this thrilling new chapter in the franchise."

The new series follows Daniel "Hondo" Harrelson, who is pulled out of forced retirement to lead a last-chance experimental S.W.A.T. unit made up of untested, unpredictable young recruits. Hondo must bridge a generational divide, navigate clashing personalities and turn a squad of outsiders into a team capable of protecting the city - and saving the program that made him who he is.
