SPT Unveils S.W.A.T. Spinoff

Shemar Moore is set to reprise his role as Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson in S.W.A.T. Exiles, a new ten-episode series from Sony Pictures Television (SPT).

Development is currently underway for the series, with production starting this summer. S.W.A.T. ran for eight seasons on CBS. Jason Ning will serve as showrunner and executive producer under his renewed overall deal with SPT.

“My eight seasons on S.W.A.T. have been epic and memorable,” Moore said. “We entertained the world, defied the odds, came back from the dead twice, and continued to woo fans and families worldwide. I am excited for this next generation and iteration of S.W.A.T. with Sony. Katherine Pope, Neal H. Moritz, Jason Ning and I will keep the franchise, thrill ride action, heartfelt drama and storytelling of S.W.A.T. alive.”

“We are thrilled to usher this beloved franchise into a new era with S.W.A.T. Exiles,” said Keith Le Goy, chairman of Sony Pictures Television. “We believe in championing powerful storytelling and in our teams’ exceptional ability to create and deliver these stories to audiences around the world. This belief is embedded in our DNA and central to every decision we make.”

Katherine Pope, president of Sony Pictures Television Studios, added, “We couldn’t be more excited to bring the next chapter of S.W.A.T. to life—both for our incredibly dedicated fans of the original franchise and for a new generation of viewers. We’re grateful to our incredible partners Neal H. Moritz, Pavun Shetty, Jason Ning and Shemar Moore for embarking on this journey with us. This team’s commitment to the global fanbase, to our beloved crew and to our city runs deep!”

“I couldn’t be more thrilled to partner with Sony to bring S.W.A.T. Exiles to life. It’s an incredible honor to carry forward the legacy of a show that fans around the world have come to love. Working with Shemar Moore, who defines what it means to be a leading man, and introducing a new generation of characters into this world is a dream,” said Ning.
