S.W.A.T. season 8 now has an official release date. The CBS show, which was developed by Aaron Rahsaan Thomas and Shawn Ryan, is based on the ABC program of the same name that ran from 1975 to 1976 and was later adapted into the 2003 movie of the same name starring Colin Farrell. It stars Shemar Moore as Sergeant Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson, the leader of an LAPD Special Weapons and Tactics unit. S.W.A.T. season 8 coming to the air was never a guarantee, as the show was previously announced to be ending with season 7.

Per Deadline, the official release date for S.W.A.T. season 8 has now been set by CBS. As part of the network’s announcement of a great deal of their scripted and unscripted slate for the Fall 2024-2025 season, the return of the Moore-led action procedural show was announced to take place on Friday, October 18 at 8:00 p.m. It will be followed by new episodes of Fire Country season 3 at 9:00 p.m. and Blue Bloods season 14 at 10:00 p.m.
