'S.W.A.T.' Cancelled After Six Seasons at CBS

CBS has decided not to renew S.W.A.T. for another season.

The series was inspired by the former television series and the feature film and centered on a former Marine and locally born and raised S.W.A.T. sergeant who is tasked to run a specialized tactical unit that is the last stop in law enforcement in Los Angeles.

Shemar Moore, Alex Russell, Jay Harrington, Kenny Johnson, David Lim, Patrick St. Esprit, and Rochelle Aytes starred in the show.

“For six seasons, the amazing talents of the SWAT cast led by Shemar Moore, the writers, producers and crew guided by executive producers Shawn Ryan, Andy Dettman and Aaron Rahsaan Thomas brought us compelling, action packed episodes that also addressed important social issues and contributed to the success of our primetime line up,” said CBS Entertainment president Amy Reisenbach in a statement, via THR. “We sincerely thank them for their incredible work and passion and also thank our dedicated fans who tuned in every week.”

The outlet added that the reason for the show’s cancellation is not due to ratings, as S.W.A.T.‘s viewership increased over the past season, “averaging 6.82 million viewers over seven days”.

This wasn’t the first television show cancellation of the night.
