“S.W.A.T.” fans will soon be able to stream all eight seasons of the CBS series on Netflix.
The action drama’s eighth and final season came to an end in May and has been available to stream on Paramount+. But for those binging “S.W.A.T.” on Netflix, it’s frustrating that season 8 is missing from the streaming platform. Fortunately, season 8 of “S.W.A.T.” will hit Netflix on Monday, September 15.
“S.W.A.T.” had its ups and downs over the course of its 8-season run. It was originally canceled in May 2023 after six seasons, but CBS walked back the cancelation a few days later. Season 7 was then billed as the show’s final chapter, but it was later renewed for season 8.
CBS canceled the show yet again in March, and this time, the decision appears to be final. But it’s not the end of the road for “S.W.A.T.” star Shemar Moore, who plays Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson Jr.; Sony Pictures Television has picked up a spinoff titled “S.W.A.T. Exiles,” starring Moore.
While it initially seemed like Moore would be the only “S.W.A.T.” alum reprising his role in the new show, more OG cast members might be joining the project.

“There is a ‘S.W.A.T family,’ and that family is important. We would love to have other family members involved in some way, whether it’s all of them all of the time, some of them some of the time, or something in between,” Keith LeGoy, chairman of Sony Pictures Television, said at the Banff World Media Festival in June, per Deadline. “That’s something that we are still figuring out.”
It’s still unclear when “S.W.A.T. Exiles” will premiere and what network or streaming platform it will call home. Sony has ordered 10 episodes of the spinoff, and production reportedly began this summer.
“I couldn’t be more thrilled to partner with Sony to bring ‘S.W.A.T. Exiles to life,” Jason Ning, who will serve as showrunner, said at a Sony event in May, per the Hollywood Reporter. “It’s an incredible honor to carry forward the legacy of a show that fans around the world have come to love. Working with Shemar Moore, who defines what it means to be a leading man, and introducing a new generation of characters into this world is a dream.”
Seasons 1-7 of “S.W.A.T.” are currently streaming on Netflix. Season 8 will be available to stream beginning on September 15.
