The third time is the charm for S.W.A.T. as CBS has canceled the TV show again, meaning season 8 will be its last, which is for the best, despite Shemar Moore’s attempts to save it. The action drama, developed by Aaron Rahsaan Thomas and Shawn Ryan, is based on the 1975 TV series and 2003 movie of the same name. It premiered in November 2017 and was a hit for CBS. However, even with its passionate fanbase and previous strong ratings, S.W.A.T.‘s achievements aren’t enough to make the cut for CBS’ 2025–2026 TV schedule.
