‘S.W.A.T.’ Spinoff Planned By Sony With Shemar Moore Set To Reprise His 
Role As Hondo  (May 18)

Sony Pictures Television is spinning off the cop drama for a new show 
dubbed S.W.A.T. Exiles. Moore will reprise his character as Daniel 
“Hondo” Harrelson while the 200-person production crew that helped to 
make S.W.A.T. a success for CBS will get to keep their jobs when 
production resumes this summer in Los Angeles.

Here’s the logline for the spinoff: “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.”

Jason Ning (Lucifer) will take over as showrunner as part of his 
recently renewed overall deal with SPT. The plan for the studio is to 
produce and distribute the 10-episode series globally by “finding the 
right homes and partners for these new stories to reach the passionate 
S.W.A.T. fanbase and attract new viewers.”
