‘S.W.A.T.’ Canceled (Again) By CBS After 8 Seasons; Showrunner Calls News “Heartbreaking”

deadline.com:

S.W.A.T. has run out of lives. CBS has canceled the police drama starring Shemar Moore, now in its eighth season that is set to wrap in May.

If you are having a case of déjà vu, that is because, after a string of early renewals, S.W.A.T. was dramatically canceled in May 2023 after six seasons only for CBS to reverse the decision days later with a pickup of what was announced at the time as a seventh and final season.

Flash-forward to May 2024 when S.W.A.T. was surprisingly renewed for an eighth season. Don’t expect another miraculous reprieve; this time the decision is believed to be final — and permanent.

The past two years, S.W.A.T. lead studio Sony Pictures Television was able to propose financial terms that were appealing to CBS, sealing eleventh-hour pickups.
