A new trailer for S.W.A.T. Season 7 has unveiled the imminent exit of Alex Russell’s character, Officer Jim Street, in a dramatic two-episode farewell. Russell has been a staple of the series since its inception, joining the team as one of the newest members in Season 1. Throughout the series, he has been a main cast member, though he will transition to a recurring role in this final season.
CBS, via TV Promos, recently released a trailer for the upcoming two-hour event, consisting of Episodes 4 and 5, which will mark Russell’s departure from the show. Set to air on Friday, March 8, the emotional trailer promises a poignant sendoff for a character who has been integral to the S.W.A.T. team.
A Major Loss for the Team
Russell’s exit represents a significant blow to the series as it heads into its final season. Jim Street has been a part of the team since the beginning, overcoming impulsive and sometimes irrational decisions to prove himself as a valuable asset in numerous missions.
With Jim’s departure occurring just five episodes into the 13-episode season, fans are left to grapple with the reality of a team that feels less complete. This sentiment is echoed by the concurrent exit of Dominique Luca (Kenny Johnson), who will also appear in a recurring capacity during the final episodes. While these changes signal a bittersweet farewell, they also emphasize the closing chapters of the series.
Emotional Sendoff Ahead
Shemar Moore, who stars as Hondo, leads the team into this emotional chapter. Despite the earlier cancellation of S.W.A.T., which shocked fans, Jim’s farewell promises to be a fitting tribute to his character’s evolution throughout the series. The two-part episode is poised to highlight the growth Jim has undergone since his introduction, providing a satisfying conclusion to his story arc.
Even with Jim’s departure, S.W.A.T. will continue with eight remaining episodes, allowing for further character development and closure for the rest of the team. As fans prepare for this emotional farewell, the upcoming episodes promise to deliver the intensity and drama that S.W.A.T. is known for, marking a significant moment in the series’ history.
