Cancellation Drama

Just last week, CBS shocked fans of the popular police procedural series when it canceled the show without any explanation. However, the network reversed its decision and announced that the series would return for S.W.A.T. Season 6 after fan outcry.

And now, the show has found a new home on Netflix, providing fans with the opportunity to revisit all of the past seasons and catch up before the final season.

S.W.A.T follows Sergeant Daniel 'Hondo' Harrelson (played by Shemar Moore) as he takes over as the leader of the Special Weapons and Tactics unit in Los Angeles. As a former marine born and raised in LA, Hondo is the perfect candidate to lead the highly-skilled team.

However, as a Black man, he is often stuck between the police force and the local community, trying to navigate difficult issues while making sure that everyone is protected and served.
