The series, produced by Sony Pictures Television in association with CBS Studios, will return for its eighth instalment in the 2024/25 broadcast season.

This marks the second time the show has been cancelled only for CBS to reverse course. Last year, CBS cancelled S.W.A.T. after its sixth season, before changing its decision and giving the show a seventh run.

Developed by Aaron Rahsaan Thomas and Shawn Ryan (The Shield) and debuting in 2017, the show features Shemar Moore, Jay Harrington, David Lim, Patrick St Esprit, Rochelle Aytes and Anna Enger Ritch.

Executive producers on the project include co-showrunners Ryan and Andrew Dettmann, Justin Lin (Fast & Furious) of Perfect Storm Entertainment, Neal H Moritz (Fast & Furious) of Original Film, Marney Hochman, Pavun Shetty, Billy Gierhart, Moore and James Scura.
