Shemar Moore is returning to the role. His S.W.A.T. spinoff S.W.A.T. Exiles has been ordered by Starz with a premiere date set for September 25, according to Deadline.
Sony Pictures Television has closed sales for the action drama across all major markets globally. The U.S. rights deal with Starz continues the fall premiere schedule that the original S.W.A.T. maintained during its eight-season run on CBS.
The spinoff follows HONDO Harrelson after the original series ended. The character moves to the premium cable network for a new chapter focused on the same high-octane action and gritty storytelling audiences know from the CBS version.
The September slot puts S.W.A.T. Exiles in the middle of the fall television calendar. Starz has been adding to its slate with high-profile content, and this spinoff is a major addition for the network.
Sony's global sales close signals the franchise retains international appeal. The producer secured distribution deals across multiple territories, indicating confidence in Moore's return reaching audiences worldwide.
Shemar Moore built a loyal fanbase during the original S.W.A.T. run. With production completed and deals finalized, the September 25 premiere is set.
