Annie Ilonzeh has been promoted to a series regular on CBS’s S.W.A.T. for its eighth season, effective from the winter finale airing on December 13, 2024. Initially introduced as a recurring character, Ilonzeh portrays Officer Devin Gamble, a recruit with a complex background. Devin hails from a family deeply entrenched in crime, and her father’s past involvement in a sheriff’s deputy’s death has cast a long shadow over her career. Despite these challenges, she has proven herself as a valuable member of the 20-Squad team, led by Hondo (Shemar Moore).
Ilonzeh’s promotion aligns with other cast changes this season, including Niko Pepaj’s upgrade to series regular as Officer Miguel Alfaro. These adjustments come as the show adapts to the departures of previous cast members and aims to keep the series fresh and engaging for its audience.
Fans can look forward to more of Ilonzeh’s performance in upcoming episodes, as her character continues to navigate the complexities of her past while serving on the elite S.W.A.T. team.
