Overview
- Starz released a full trailer that confirms Shemar Moore returns as Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson and that S.W.A.T. Exiles will premiere on September 25.
- The series opens with Hondo leaving S.W.A.T. after a fatal, botched raid and being recruited to lead a new unit of troubled but talented recruits.
- The five main Exiles are played by Lucy Barrett, Freddy Miyares, Zyra Gorecki, Ronen Rubinstein, and Adain Bradley, each introduced with distinct backgrounds and secrets.
- The season-long arc centers on a mole inside the team and a plot by powerful actors to weaken or replace public S.W.A.T. with a more private, less accountable force.
- Produced for Sony Pictures Television and picked up by Starz, Jason Ning is the showrunner, the project lists several executive producers, and Starz gave the series an early Season 2 renewal in August 2026.
