[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for the S.W.A.T. Season 7 finale “Twenty Squad.”] The future looks bright for Twenty Squad. S.W.A.T. ended its seventh (and nearly final) season with a bang, with Hondo (Shemar Moore) putting himself at great risk to keep Los Angeles safe—and the city took notice.

Tan (David Lim), Powell (Anna Enger Ritch), and Alfaro (Niko Pepaj). And Hicks (Patrick St. Esprit) is letting Hondo pick whoever he wants to fill the sixth spot. Below, executive producer Andrew Dettmann breaks down the finale and teases what’s ahead. Shemar told me that nothing was changed about the finale, but if you ...

While for the most part, “everything was positive” about finding out S.W.A.T. had been uncanceled for a second time, there was one heartbreaking part, according to executive producer Andrew Dettmann. During Season 7, Hondo (Shemar Moore) has had to say goodbye to three members of 20 Squad. Street (Alex Russell) transferred to Long Beach, Luca (Kenny Johnson) was forced to retire after an injury when he interrupted a robbery off-duty, and Deacon (Jay Harrington) has chosen to retire. While Harrington is still around as Deacon adjusts to his next chapter, such is not the case for Russell or Johnson, who both had farewell episodes. “I would love to see them back,” Dettmann tells TV Insider. “The one heartbreaking thing was when we were told this is the end, Season 7, giving Street and Alex that goodbye, making part of Long Beach Pd, giving Luca that heartbreaking goodbye that Kenny played so well, those...

S.W.A.T. is finally coming to an end with a seventh season. This was great news for fans and lead actor Shemar Moore, who fought for the show’s survival. While CBS canceled it after Season 6, a pushback caused the network to allow it to return for Season 7 so the series could wrap up its stories.

The S.W.A.T. Season 7 finale, which wrapped filming last week — just two days after the surprise un-cancellation news came through — as written left things “wide open” for more adventures for Hondo & Co.
S.W.A.T. showrunner Andrew Dettmann had told TVLine ahead of the seventh and “final” season, “Look, it was presented to us as definitively final. But I’ve always said, as I talk to the actors and the other writers here, everybody holds out hope. Your show’s not gone till your show’s gone, right? So, we’re approaching it to make it a wonderful farewell if that turns out to be what it is.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for S.W.A.T. Season 7 Episode 8 “Family Man.”] It looks like Deacon (Jay Harrington) has made his mind up about his future with S.W.A.T. after the Luca’s (Kenny Johnson) shooting and subsequent retirement left him questioning things. And while he had been waiting to talk to anyone except for Hicks (Patrick St. Esprit), he and Hondo (Shemar Moore) do have the conversation they probably should have had sooner in the latest episode. It’s all because Deacon’s wife Annie (Bre Blair) spilled to Hondo’s wife Nichelle (Rochelle Aytes) about the plans. Just as Hondo’s lamenting the loss of the “core” group—while looking at a photo from back when Chris was still on the team—Nichelle reveals that it really could be “the end of an era” if Deacon does retire, too. At first, Hondo doesn’t think it’s ...

S.W.A.T. is certainly leaning into the nostalgia as it nears its series finale (May 17). Two of Hondo’s (Shemar Moore) team have left in recent episodes—Alex Russell‘s Street transferred to Long Beach, while Kenny Johnson‘s Luca was forced to retire after he was shot trying to stop a robbery off-the-clock. Now, in TV Insider’s exclusive sneak peek of the April 12 episode, he finds out that someone on his team has been hiding plans to do the same. Hondo’s wife Nichelle (Rochelle Aytes) finds him looking at an old team photo, from back when Chris was still there. “This group was the core for so long,” Hondo says. “It’s hard to get over the change. I mean, Street’s been gone for weeks. I still catch myself looking for his motorcycle in the parking lot. Now Luca’s gone.” That’s when Nichelle points out,...

CBS is ending three of its longest-running series next month, and the network has officially confirmed the series finale dates.
Bob Hearts Abishola is kicking things off with the series finale of the Billy Gardell comedy set for Monday, May 6, at 8:30/7:30c.
The series has been on the chopping block for some time.
Alarm bells sounded for fans last season when CBS confirmed that only Gardell and Folake Olowofoyeku would return as series regulars.
At that point, the fifth season wasn’t revealed to be the concluding chapter of the series, but the news followed months later.
The show has done an admirable job of trying to keep many of the ousted series regulars in play as guest stars and recurring players.

Ever since we learned that Kenny Johnson had been demoted to a recurring player for the seventh and final season of S.W.A.T., we’ve had concerns about how Dominique Luca’s story would end.
After spending five episodes on the bench, Johnson just made his first appearance in the final season, but could that be the end of his time on the show?
The stunning episode concluded with Luca witnessing a robbery in progress.
Once he got his adopted daughter Kelly to safety, he found himself in a potentially fatal situation when he got shot three times.
CBS aired a teaser for the next installment at the end of the episode, and it sure looks like we’re about to say goodbye to Luca for good.
We see Hondo (Shemar Moore) and several other characters at the hospital as they learn that he may not make it out of surgery alive.
