A little over a year ago, Sony Pictures Television announced that we were getting a S.W.A.T. spinoff with Shemar Moore, and that was all they knew.
S.W.A.T. Exiles was going to film even though no one picked it up to series. Well, today, four months after it finished shooting its ten-episode first season, someone decided to give it a home.
Hondo and his team are moving to Starz on September 25th, according to Deadline.
In this spin-off of the hit series, after a high-profile mission goes sideways, Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson is pulled out of forced retirement to lead a last-chance experimental SWAT 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.
S.W.A.T. aired for eight seasons on CBS, and the network tried to cancel it twice before it took the third time.
