SWAT may have just wrapped up its run on CBS, but the franchise is living on: Sony, which is the studio behind the series, has ordered SWAT EXILES—starring Shemar Moore, reprising his role as Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson.

In the series, “after a high-profile mission goes sideways, Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson is pulled out of forced retirement to lead a last-chance experimental SWAT unit made up of untested, unpredictable young recruits. 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.” Sony will produce and distribute the 10p-episode series globally; production is set to begin this summer, utilizing the same production crew who produced the first eight seasons of the franchise. Jason Ning will serve as showrunner.

“My eight seasons on S.W.A.T. have been epic and memorable,” said Shemar Moore in a statement. “We entertained the world, defied the odds, came back from the dead twice, and continued to woo fans and families worldwide. I am excited for this next generation and iteration of S.W.A.T. with Sony. Katherine Pope, Neal H. Moritz, Jason Ning, and I will keep the franchise, thrill ride action, heartfelt drama, and storytelling of S.W.A.T. alive. WE DON’T LOSE!!!! ROLL SWAT!!!”

“We are thrilled to usher this beloved franchise into a new era with S.W.A.T. EXILES,” added Keith Le Goy, Chairman of Sony Pictures Television. “We believe in championing powerful storytelling and in our teams’ exceptional ability to create and deliver these stories to audiences around the world. This belief is embedded in our DNA and central to every decision we make.”

Added Katherine Pope, President, Sony Pictures Television Studios: “We couldn’t be more excited to bring the next chapter of S.W.A.T. to life — both for our incredibly dedicated fans of the original franchise and for a new generation of viewers. We’re grateful to our incredible partners Neal H. Moritz, Pavun Shetty, Jason Ning and Shemar Moore for embarking on this journey with us. This team’s commitment to the global fanbase, to our beloved crew and to our city runs deep!”

“I couldn’t be more thrilled to partner with Sony to bring S.W.A.T. EXILES to life,” concluded Ning. “It’s an incredible honor to carry forward the legacy of a show that fans around the world have come to love. Working with Shemar Moore, who defines what it means to be a leading man, and introducing a new generation of characters into this world is a dream,”

In addition to Ning, Neal H. Moritz, Pavun Shetty, Moore, and James Scura will serve as executive producers.
