On Friday, CBS cancelled S.W.A.T. after six seasons. Then Shemar Moore made a plea on social media to get his series more episodes, and the fans wanted it too. So they reached out to CBS, and now the show will be back for a seventh and final season.
“We have listened to our viewers and their outpouring of passion for S.W.A.T., and we have reached an agreement to renew it for a final season of 13 episodes to air during the 2023-2024 broadcast year,” Amy Reisenbach, President, CBS Entertainment, and Katherine Pope, President, Sony Pictures Television Studios, said in a joint statement. “S.W.A.T. has aired for six seasons on CBS and garnered a devoted following. We are pleased that we found a way to bring it back and give closure to the show’s storylines and characters, which audiences deserve. Once again, we appreciate the talents and efforts of the cast, writers, producers and crew and everyone who has contributed to the success of S.W.A.T. We look forward to its return next season.”
Moore added, “Ayyeee!!!!! We did it #SWATFAM!!! @swatcbs is coming back for a 7th and Final season with 13 Episodes!!! Thank you to all of you for the continued and amazing support!! Let’s go 👊🏽💯🔥💪🏽”
I love when a series gets saved after being cancelled. It is a Hollywood fairytale. Although, the Evil Stepmother will have to go after another show like East New York to compensate for the cost of S.W.A.T.’s renewal.
CBS will announce its Fall schedule on Wednesday.
