Sat Feb 01 00:30:00 UTC 2025: ## SWAT Returns From Winter Break With High-Stakes Episode 9
**Los Angeles, CA** – CBS’s action-drama *S.W.A.T.* is back from its winter hiatus. Following a tumultuous journey that included a cancellation and subsequent renewal, Season 8 will continue its 22-episode run with the premiere of Episode 9 on Friday, January 31st, at 10 p.m. EST/PST.
The show, which initially concluded a shortened Season 7 due to uncertainty over its future, left viewers on a cliffhanger in its mid-season finale. Episode 8 saw several core members of the SWAT team facing significant danger. Episode 9 promises to pick up the action immediately, resolving the perilous situation left hanging at the end of the last episode.
*S.W.A.T.* will take over the 10 p.m. time slot previously held by *Blue Bloods*. Episodes are available to stream on Paramount+ the day after their broadcast on CBS.
