S.W.A.T. is not ending after all. Beating the odds a second time, the action drama has been renewed for the 2024-25 season, with Shemar Moore set to continue as star and executive producer. I hear Season 8 will consist of 22 episodes.
The news comes a year after S.W.A.T. was canceled before the decision was dramatically reversed a couple of days later with a renewal for a seventh and final season. This time, the network is not boxing itself in and leaving the door open to more by not branding 8 as the series’ final season.
The surprise renewal, which sources said came down pretty quickly over the last couple of days, also comes as S.W.A.T is wrapping production on its seventh season. Moore hinted at the drama not necessarily ending by posting set photos on his IG storyyesterday with the caption “Season 7 finale will be [fire emoji],” not referring to the episode as series finale.
According to sources, the finale, which is still filming, was written as a satisfying series finale but also perfectly sets the show for another season, so no last-minute changes are being made in light of the renewal.
I hear talks about a Season 8 of S.W.A.T. kicked off earlier this week, with CBS asking Sony Pictures Television, which is producing in association with CBS Studios, for a license fee reduction, a typical move in the current economic environment.
As Deadline has reported, Sony TV last year was not willing to take another S.W.A.T. renewal at a flat license fee, and CBS eventually went up on the license fee but cut the size of order, which led to Sony passing and CBS cancelling the show before the two sides went back and worked things out.
It is unclear whether Sony TV agreed to a reduced license fee this year or it remained
