S.W.A.T. is coming back, after all!

Cynthia Littleton Business Editor Shawn Ryan feels like he’s picked up in mid-sentence. The seasoned showrunner is back in his element, leading a writers room and juggling two series, Netflix’s “The Night Agent” and the final season of CBS’ high-octane police drama “S.W.A.T.” The end of the Writers Guild of America strike late last month unleashed a torrent of work for Ryan and his teams based at Sony Pictures Television. “Night Agent” was a little more than halfway done with writing for the 10 episodes for Season 2 when writers went pencils down on May 2.

A showrunners picket at Fox that started as a way to show solidarity during the strike ended up raising close to $45,000 for crew members who have been adversely affected by the work stoppage.

A group of top-tier showrunners including Kenya Barris and Noah Hawley has set a meeting with the WGA leadership as they try to aid the negotiating process.

It’s Day 11 of the SAG-AFTRA strike and Day 84 of the WGA strike.

A group of top showrunners met today to discuss the WGA strike – a day after it emerged the studios told writer/producers were not excused from producing duties during the labor action.

“S.W.A.T” will end its run on CBS after six years with its current season’s finale, the network announced on Friday. The final episode, written by Brandon Margolis and Brandon Sonnier, airs May 19, 8 p.m.

Selome Hailu “S.W.A.T.” has been canceled after seven seasons at CBS. The procedural drama starred Shemar Moore as Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson, a S.W.A.T. sargeant tasked to run a specialized tactical unit that is the last stop in law enforcement in Los Angeles. Torn between loyalty to where he was raised and allegiance to his brothers in blue, he strives to bridge the divide between his two worlds. The cast also included Rochelle Aytes as Hondo’s girlfriend Nichelle, Jay Harrington as David “Deacon” Kay, Kenny Johnson as Dominique Luca, David Lim as Victor Tan, and Alex Russell as Jim Street. Season 6, which is currently on the air, is averaging 6.8 million total viewers and a 0.7 rating among adults 18-49 according to Nielsen’s Live + 7 data from late April.

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

Warning: Spoilers ahead.

It’s official: “The Night Agent” is a hit and Netflix has renewed its new action-thriller series for a second season.

The Night Agent has earned a very quick renewal at Netflix!

Joe Otterson TV Reporter “The Night Agent” has earned a speedy Season 2 renewal at Netflix, Variety has learned.

We couldn’t be any prouder or more excited to get cracking on Season 2 to share the further adventures of Night Action with our newfound fans.”

This was quick — a day after Netflix unveiled record opening weekend viewership for The Night Agent, the streamer has picked up a second season of the political conspiracy thriller series from creator Shawn Ryan and Sony Pictures Television for a second season. This marks one of the fastest renewal decisions for Netflix, which typically waits for date on a series’ 28-day performance before pulling the trigger.

SPOILER WARNING: The following reveals major plot points from Season 1 of Netflix’s The Night Agent.

SPOILER ALERT: The series includes details about new Netflix series The Night Agent, based on the bestselling novel by Matthew Quirk.

dropped on Netflix on Thursday, featuring a cast led by Gabriel Basso and Oscar-nominated actress Hong Chau.The 10-episode action thriller is based on a novel by Matthew Quirk and follows low-level FBI Agent Peter Sutherland (Basso), who works in the basement of the White House, manning a phone that never rings — until the night that it does, when he suddenly receives a call from a civilian, Rose (Luciane Buchanan), seeking help. The call propels Peter into a fast-moving and dangerous conspiracy that ultimately leads to the Oval Office.The series hails from creator/showrunner Shawn Ryan (), and is executive produced by Seth Gordon, Marney Hochman, Jamie Vanderbilt, William Sherak, Paul Neinstein, Nicole Toussou and David Beaubaire.

Daniel D'Addario Chief TV Critic Hong Chau — the Oscar-nominated actor, who’s appeared in “The Whale,” “The Menu,” and “Downsizing” — is an interesting element on Netflix’s new series “The Night Agent,” and a revealing one. To cast Chau, a gifted and hardworking performer who’s been elevating projects for years, is to announce a certain ambition. Here, she’s playing the determined White House Chief of Staff, a figure close to the heart of various intrigues on a political thriller with schlock in its DNA. And yet she does it so elegantly, so excellently that she elevates the whole thing. So it is with “The Night Agent,” created by Shawn Ryan of “The Shield,” and based on a novel by Matthew Quirk. Here, Gabriel Basso (who played the future U.S. Senator J.D. Vance in the film “Hillbilly Elegy”) stars as Peter Sutherland, whose employment at the FBI is at such a low level that an offer to stand by and monitor a rarely used emergency hotline on the night shift comes to feel attractive. Wouldn’t you know it — one evening, that phone rings, and the caller is a tech founder who has found herself drawn into a drama she barely understands when her aunt and uncle were killed. Peter and Rose (Luciane Buchanan), his unlucky protectee, must piece together what happened on the fly, as they attempt to keep her safe and, just maybe, redeem Peter’s unfortunate family history of perfidy.

BreAnna Bell Fans of Matthew Quirk’s novel “The Night Agent” might be surprised to see a few creative changes in Shawn Ryan’s series adaptation on Netflix. For instance, not only is there the addition of several new players — including Eve Harlow, who portrays Ellen, an opposing cutthroat spy — but Ryan, who serves as showrunner and executive producer, said Rose (Lucianne Buchanan) and Peter’s (Gabriel Basso) love story will be deeply explored throughout the political thriller’s 10 episodes.
