Starz has released the trailer for S.W.A.T. Exiles, the S.W.A.T. spinoff led and executive produced by Shemar Moore.
Moore reprises his role as LAPD S.W.A.T. Sergeant Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson. Per the official description, Hondo is forced out of the job after a botched raid kills a young operator, until his old commanding officer, Robert Hicks (Patrick St. Esprit), offers him “one last shot at redemption: start up a brand-new S.W.A.T. unit, built from LA’s most talented rejects.” That squad becomes the Exiles: Sammy Bishop (Lucy Barrett), “a gun-show influencer with something to prove”; Ethan Cole (Freddy Miyares), “a socially awkward tactical savant”; Cassidy Reed (Zyra Gorecki), “guarded and determined to earn her place”; Jude Callan (Ronen Rubinstein), “a wildcard with a troubled past”; and Malik Anderson (Adain Bradley), “sharp, ambitious, and hiding more than anyone realizes.”
As the team takes on cartel assassins, gun-runners and a city on edge, Hondo starts to suspect someone inside his own unit is leaking information to outside interests, a suspicion that grows into the realization that “S.W.A.T. itself is being set up to fail, and someone with real power wants it gone; replaced by something more private, more controllable, and far less accountable.” By season’s end, “Hondo and the Exiles are forced into a final reckoning that will determine not just their careers, but the future of S.W.A.T. itself.”
Jason Ning serves as showrunner and executive producer, alongside Neal H. Moritz, Pavun Shetty, Moore, James Scura and Jon Cowan. The series was commissioned by Sony Pictures Television.
