The actor is officially returning as Daniel \u201cHondo\u201d Harrelson in <em>S.W.A.T. Exiles<\/em>, a new spin-off series that continues the franchise after the original CBS show wrapped its eight-season run in 2025.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Sony Pictures Television confirmed the project following the conclusion of the flagship series, with the new show already having completed production of its first 10-episode season. According to <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.silive.com\/nation\/2026\/05\/shemar-moore-returns-as-hondo-in-swat-spinoff-seeking-network-home.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:SI Live;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;SI Live&quot;}\" class=\"link \"><em>SI Live<\/em><\/a>, the series is currently being pitched to networks and streaming platforms, though it has not yet secured an official home on either.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.complex.com\/shop?utm_source=yahoo&amp;utm_medium=syndication&amp;utm_campaign=shop2025\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:COMPLEX SHOP: Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere.

Exiles<\/em>, the veteran team leader is pulled out of forced retirement after a mission goes sideways. He\u2019s then tasked with running what\u2019s described as a \u201clast-chance experimental\u201d SWAT unit made up of younger and largely untested recruits.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The setup shifts the franchise away from the original team dynamic toward a mentorship-driven format focused on rebuilding a squad from scratch.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Moore remains the face of the franchise, but several familiar names from the original series are also attached to the project. Jay Harrington, Patrick St. Esprit, and David Lim are returning in guest roles as Deacon, Commander Hicks, and Tan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The new cast includes Ronen Rubinstein from <em>9-1-1: Lone Star<\/em>, as well as Freddy Miyares, Lucy Barrett, Zyra Gorecki, and Adain Bradley.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Behind the scenes, <em>Lucifer<\/em> executive producer Jason Ning is serving as showrunner, while <em>Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.<\/em> director Kevin Tancharoen helmed the pilot episode.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The spin-off arrives during an especially active stretch for Moore. <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/tv\/articles\/shemar-moore-vivica-fox-officially-192553842.html\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:In addition to wrapping S.W.A.T.
