20 Mar
Summary
- S.W.A.T. spinoff "Exiles" starring Shemar Moore has completed filming.
- The series is actively seeking a streaming or network home for its release.
- Familiar faces from the original S.W.A.T. will make guest appearances.
Shemar Moore's character Hondo is making a comeback in the new S.W.A.T. spinoff, titled "S.W.A.T. Exiles." The series, which was ordered to series last year, has recently completed filming its 10 episodes. However, as of March 20, 2026, no premiere date has been announced, and the show is still actively searching for a distribution platform.
Sony Pictures Television is reportedly in discussions with various streaming services and networks to find a home for "Exiles." Potential platforms include Netflix, where the original "S.W.A.T." seasons are currently streaming, or Paramount+, given the original series aired on CBS. The series' format might be better suited for a streaming service or premium cable network.
In "S.W.A.T. Exiles," Hondo is drawn out of retirement after a mission goes awry. He is tasked with training a new group of recruits, suggesting a potentially grittier tone. While Moore is the only original cast member returning as a series regular, Jay Harrington, Patrick St. Esprit, and David Bradley Lim will reprise their roles as Deacon, Commander Hicks, and Tan in guest appearances.
