Summary
- 'S.W.A.T.' police drama starring Shemar Moore ends after 8 seasons
- Showrunners discuss challenges in crafting the final season's conclusion
- Finale explores how unexpected events can suddenly disrupt lives
The CBS police drama 'S.W.A.T.', starring Shemar Moore, has concluded its 8-season run as of September 2025. Showrunners David J. North and Gina Lucita Monreal discuss the process of crafting the series finale, which aimed to explore the theme of how life can change in an instant.
"We definitely had a lot of discussions in the writers' room about how we wanted to end the season," North told Deadline last April. "At the end of the day, Gina and I like to tell stories that seem to be honest and true to us. I think everyone has had these experiences where you wake up one morning, and life's ho-humming along and then all of a sudden something unthinkable happens. And lives are constantly colliding, and that was the theme of the beautiful finale that Gina wrote."
The finale episode, which aired in May 2025, focused on how the lives of the 'S.W.A.T.' team members were unexpectedly disrupted by a sudden and unpredictable turn of events. Viewers were left stunned by the dramatic conclusion to the long-running series, which had captivated audiences for nearly a decade.
