CBS has announced that they’re renewing S.W.A.T. for its 7th final season after receiving backlash for its initial decision to cancel the show.
The network has been able to successfully maintain the show’s Friday night time slot in recent seasons, with the show’s financials ultimately determining its fate.
Additionally, the series star Shemar Moore will serve as executive producer in the 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,” said CBS Entertainment president Amy Reisenbach and Sony Pictures Television Studios president Katherine Pope 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.”
This past weekend, Moore took to Instagram to vent about the cancellation of the show, saying CBS made a “F*cking mistake.”
