The Finale Airs Next Month-But Maybe Not?
The series finale is set to air next month, but one of the show’s stars hinted that it could return once more, despite its recent cancellation.
S.W.A.T. is among several CBS series concluding their seasons in May, but unlike popular shows like Matlock and Elsbeth, S.W.A.T. will not be back for another season this fall.
The show faced its third cancellation last month, having previously been canceled in 2023 and 2024 before CBS decided to continue production.
The two-hour Season 8 finale, which also serves as the series finale, will air on Friday, May 16, following the recent completion of filming.
Most episodes were shot before CBS made the decision to cancel the series again. Shemar Moore has portrayed the main character, Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson, since the show’s debut in 2017.

The actor expressed optimism during his conversation with the host, stating, “It may not be the end for ‘S.W.A.T.’ just yet.”
He elaborated, “We have faith in the show and in what we’ve created together; our passion drives us, and we’re eager to keep it going. We’re actively seeking a new platform for ‘S.W.A.T.,’ and the support from our fans has been overwhelming.”
He referenced the petition, noting, “Clearly, people aren’t ready to say goodbye, and we feel the same way;” he emphasized that the cast is “holding on” to hope.
Lim also took a moment to praise his fellow cast members and the experience of working on the CBS series, saying, “It’s always felt like family on ‘S.W.A.T.’”
Lim Continued Talking About The Camaraderie Among The Stars And Crew
One of the reasons ‘S.W.A.T.’ stands out is the strong sense of camaraderie, family, and teamwork among the cast. Everyone has come together, and it feels like we have the support of the entire world right now, which we truly appreciate,” he shared.
Although filming for the final season has wrapped up, CBS still has the option to renew ‘S.W.A.T.’ for a Season 9.
The show had previously completed filming for Season 7, which was intended to be its last, but CBS later decided to bring it back for Season 8.
Shemar Moore has also reached out on social media, urging other networks like Netflix, NBC, and ABC to consider picking up ‘S.W.A.T.’
