Normally during this time of year, Hollywood is busy filming the broadcast primetime shows. However, this year is not like every other year because of the coronavirus pandemic. That is why when a show is taping new episodes, it is big news in the industry.
There was a report over a week ago that S.W.A.T. was going back into production for the new season. Today, Shemar Moore confirmed that the CBS police procedural has been back on the job for almost a week.
Just like all of the series that are back on duty, the cast is wearing protection. However, on this drama, it is full body armor. COVID-19 is not going to get them.
S.W.A.T. is the little show that could this year. It was originally supposed to be a midseason replacement. However, when Survivor could not figure out a way to film safely, CBS canceled the fall edition and moved the drama up a season.
