S.W.A.T. is not ending after all. Beating the odds a second time, the
action drama has been renewed for the 2024-25 season, with Shemar Moore set
to continue as star and executive producer. I hear Season 8 will consist of
22 episodes.

Really? Really??

They're spending umpteen million dollars on the Season 7
episodes, which have focused on giving nice endings to each character.
We've already seen Jim Street move on to head Long Beach SWAT, Luca was
shot but recovered and then retired, and Deacon is also in the midst
of retiring. If the remaining episodes continue this trend, there's not
going to be anyone left for Season 8. (Chris Alonzo left in a previous
season.)

Will Luca and Deke "unretire"? Will Street miss LAPD SWAT and come
back? That wouldn't be awfully credible. Or will Hondo and Tan be the
core of an entirely new team, probably of tough women, to
placate DEI rules? That wouldn't be awfully credible either!

Darn these network executives for not being able to stick to a plan.

I'm betting the new shows coming down the pipeline are so bad that they
realize none of them are likely to get the ratings that S.W.A.T. are
getting so they're back-pedaling like mad on the S.W.A.T. cancellation.

The show has been cancelled twice ...

Turns out reports of "S.W.A.T's" cancellation have been
greatly exaggerated. CBS has renewed the cop drama for
Season 8 despite announcing its seventh season would be
its last nearly a year ago.

The latest drama marks the second time "S.W.A.T" has
technically escaped cancellation, with CBS initially
axing the show before announcing it would return for one
last run. The original decision to cancel "S.W.A.T" came
down to licensing fees. After Sony and CBS were unable
to come to terms in 2023, the show was canceled, but
they eventually worked out the deal for a final season
with a reduced episode count.

As you know, I literally can't post articles from Tu/Th job, so of
course Robin is going to beat me!

That out of the way, I'm flabbergasted they've "uncancelled" "SWAT" a
second time. (Is it really going "OK" in the ratings by this point?!!)

Especially, because season #7 was specifically commissioned to *properly
end the series*!!

So, now what are they going to do?!!

My guess? - They "reboot" this will an all new cast in S8, except for
Shemar Moore, who I'm guessing will now be in charge of an all new
"SWAT" team.

Doing this allows them to have season #7 "count", while also cutting the
costs on casting going into season #8 (an all new cast of newbies should
come cheap!!).

Regardless, this is beyond perplexing!

They already started shedding characters. Street quit and went to Long
Beach SWAT and Lemonhead was forced to medically retire after being shot
during a store robbery. That leaves only the Asian guy, the old guy and
Shemar.
