📺 Hondo’s Back! Shemar Moore To Lead ‘S.W.A.T. Exiles’ On CBS
The turntables might wobble, but they don’t fall down—and neither does Shemar Moore.
Just days after “S.W.A.T.” aired its emotional series finale, fans received a major dose of good news: Moore is reprising his iconic role as Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson in a brand-new spinoff series titled “S.W.A.T. Exiles.”
Sony Pictures Television officially announced the project, confirming that production will kick off this summer in Los Angeles.
Even better? The entire 200-person production crew that helped make “S.W.A.T.” a hit on CBS is keeping their jobs.
That alone makes this comeback a win.

🔥 What Is ‘S.W.A.T. Exiles’ About?
If you thought Hondo was hanging up his vest for good—think again.
According to the official logline, the new series puts Hondo back in action under high-stakes circumstances:
After a high-profile mission goes sideways, Hondo 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.
It’s giving redemption, mentorship, and action-packed drama.
