Sad news for fans of SWAT After more than 5 years of good and loyal service, 6 seasons and nearly 130 episodes, CBS has made the decision to cancel the series that has become cult. In shock, Shemar Moore spoke on social networks. Pissed off, the one who plays Sergeant Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson since 2017 did not mince his words.
“For CBS, for the past two years, we’ve been a hit… We’ve done nothing wrong. We’ve done everything that was asked.”he launched before specifying that “SWAT is the most diverse show on CBS”. According to the actor, the television network had however promised a final season and the possibility of continuing the adventure.
“CBS, when I was cast as Hondo in SWAT, was getting a lot of flak for lack of diversity. If I post this, and I believe I will, I’ll be in a lot of trouble with CBS because I call to order. Because they’ve been wonderful to me for 26 of my 29-year career. But being abruptly told you’re canceled when you made us believe last week – and the week before that. , and the week before – that we’d have a semblance of season seven to at least say goodbye, if not move on. And to be abruptly told, ‘You’re done.'” he added.

Actor calls for help
Disappointed to see SWAT end like this, the 53-year-old American actor is particularly concerned for all the people working hard on the series. “I care about my family, my crew. The writers, the producers, the caterers, the costume designers, the sound mixers, the teamsters, the construction crew, a whole bunch of people who are suddenly told: “You don’t matter. Sorry, thank you for your services. Good luck and find a new job.” And for me, that’s not good.”
Despite CBS’s decision, Shemar Moore seems to remain hopeful. “I’m fine, but I’m upset because I broke my c… to prove I could do it, and I proved I could do it. I understand it’s not personal, it’s business, but I still have faith that SWAT will live to see another day.”. He now asks his fans to mobilize to make the production understand that this is a “error”. Fingers crossed that this call for help works!
