‘We Want To Continue’: Despite S.W.A.T. Getting Canceled Three Times By CBS Already, One Star Still Isn’t Convinced It’s Ending For Good

Following a third consecutive cancelation of the series “S.W.A.T.”, fans, along with the cast and crew, are readying their farewells as they approach the finale slated for May 2025 on television schedules. After completing filming on the CBS procedural, the cast found themselves getting emotional at the thought of saying goodbye to the 20-Squad. Although it seems this cancellation may be final, Shemar Moore has made a plea to streaming services such as Netflix for potential salvation of the show. Meanwhile, another cast member maintains an optimistic outlook.

The TV show S.W.A.T. has been rescued twice by CBS, an extraordinary occurrence, considering its finale left viewers craving more. Fans are eagerly hoping for a return of the series, regardless of whether it’s on CBS, Netflix, Paramount+, or another platform. Incredibly, there’s a strong possibility that fans’ wishes could come true once again. David Lim, who has portrayed Victor Tan since the series debut, expressed his hopes for another season to KTLA 5 Morning News, and he remains as optimistic as ever.

I’m not ready to say goodbye to ‘S.W.A.T.’ just yet. Our team is full of believers, we’ve poured our hearts into this show, and the passion burns as brightly as ever. We’re eager to keep going. We’re on a mission to find a new home for ‘S.W.A.T.’, and the outpouring of love and support from our dedicated fans has been truly heartwarming.

Given that the initial seven seasons of the show are accessible with a Netflix subscription, and considering Netflix’s history of saving shows like “Lucifer” and “Manifest,” among others, there’s a strong possibility that 20-Squad might secure a long-term deal on this platform. Alternatively, it could follow in the footsteps of “SEAL Team” and transition from CBS to Paramount+, which saw success for the military drama with an additional three seasons. Regardless of the path chosen, Lim is undeterred, and the fact that discussions are ongoing suggests a positive outlook, especially since many fans aren’t ready to let go, and Lim understands this well.

It seems that people aren’t quite ready to part ways at this moment, and the same applies to us. Consequently, we’re still clinging onto a glimmer of optimism.

The fans’ powerful support initially saved the show from cancellation twice, and it’s clear they still yearn for more episodes. Previously, they launched petitions to keep the show alive, and this persistence hasn’t waned. Although filming has concluded, the show isn’t officially done until all sets are dismantled and the cast have moved on to new roles. But the fans remain determined to see it continue.

After the show’s cancellation, Shemar Moore expressed some sincere feelings about the situation, which is in line with his candid nature on social media. He expressed gratitude that S.W.A.T. was rescued twice, and if this is truly the end, then it is indeed the end. Yet, he remains optimistic, suggesting that this might not be the end. If I had to venture a guess, Moore, along with Lim, probably isn’t the only cast member hoping for a ninth season.

Currently, it’s uncertain if the TV series S.W.A.T. will experience another miraculous revival, but unexpected occurrences have happened before. In the meantime, viewers might want to start saying their farewells since, unless there are any surprises, the 20-Squad team is expected to embark on their last mission together in May. The ending remains uncertain at this point. Tune into S.W.A.T. every Friday at 10 p.m. ET on CBS, and if you have a Paramount+ subscription, catch the next day’s episode.
