**Los Angeles, CA** – After a tumultuous run that included a previous cancellation and subsequent revival, CBS has announced the cancellation of its action drama *SWAT*. The network confirmed Thursday that the show will not return for a ninth season.

*SWAT*, starring Shemar Moore as Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson, has aired eight seasons. The show’s cancellation comes as a surprise to fans, following an unexpected renewal for an eighth season just last April after a previous cancellation in 2023. CBS Entertainment President Amy Reisenbach previously joked about the network’s tendency towards “dramatic twists,” alluding to the show’s previous revivals.

Showrunner and executive producer Andrew Dettmann expressed his disappointment, praising the cast and crew for their dedication over the years. Executive producer Shawn Ryan echoed these sentiments, highlighting the hard work of the crew and thanking the fans for their support.

The cancellation marks the end of the road for a show based on the 1975 ABC series of the same name. While the show’s loyal fanbase will undoubtedly be disappointed, the legacy of *SWAT* and the efforts of its production team will likely be remembered for years to come.
