The chances of SWAT season 8 are addressed by lead actor Shemar Moore. The 2017 action series, which follows Los Angeles Police Department Sergeant Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson (Moore) and his unit, has received greater attention with its availability on Netflix in the United States. That has coincided with the whirlwind saga of SWAT season 7, which was originally cancelled by CBS. The decision for SWAT season 7 was reversed, which will be its last.
In comments to TV Insider, while promoting SWAT season 7, Moore addressed whether the series could be back for a potential season 8. The Criminal Minds alum broke down the action drama’s successful metrics and indicated that it’s a reason to be optimistic about the chances of a revival. Moore, nonetheless, is prepared if this is the end of his time as Hondo. Read his full comment below:
“I’m an optimistic person that maybe it’s the final season, maybe it’s not. That’s just me talking because this game is all about numbers. It’s money, budget, and numbers. We’re top 15 on Netflix. We’ve been in the top 10. We were number one for a minute. We’ve been steady in the top 15. And I think if the numbers are good, I mean maybe the powers to be at Sony, at CBS, the people that make the decisions, maybe they have something to rethink. And if that happens, I’d be more than proud to continue this show. If it’s goodbye, then I say thank you, and I’m grateful for the years. And then that door closes, and then I go kick down the next door.”
