Sony Pictures Television is spinning off the cop drama for a new show
dubbed S.W.A.T. Exiles. Moore will reprise his character as Daniel
“Hondo” Harrelson while the 200-person production crew that helped to
make S.W.A.T. a success for CBS will get to keep their jobs when
production resumes this summer in Los Angeles.

Here’s the logline for the spinoff: “After a high-profile mission goes
sideways, Hondo is pulled out of forced retirement

 I keep waiting for the Secret Service to call me out of retirement to lead one
last-ditch must-win mission to save the very foundations of the Republic. So
far, nothing.
 

All this time, I thought your mission was to bring sanity to Usenet ;-)

to lead a last-chance experimental SWAT unit made up of untested,
unpredictable young recruits.

ridiculous premise even more absurd?"

You're definitely not wrong. This *is* a pretty improbable premise....

  Hondo must bridge a generational divide, navigate clashing
personalities, and turn a squad of outsiders into a team capable of
protecting the city and saving the program that made him who he is.”

Jason Ning (Lucifer) will take over as showrunner as part of his
recently renewed overall deal with SPT. The plan for the studio is to
produce and distribute the 10-episode series globally by “finding the
right homes and partners for these new stories to reach the passionate
S.W.A.T. fanbase and attract new viewers.”
