This Friday, May 5, CBS announced the sudden cancellation of the detective series SWAT at the end of its sixth season, which will air its final episode on May 19 in the United States.
Very sad news for the fans, but also for Shemar Moore, aka Sergeant Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson, who expressed his disappointment in a video posted on his Instagram account.
Thus, the actor, who has been with the series since its inception, spoke out and denounced his lack of understanding in the face of such a decision, SWAT brings together an average of 6.8 million viewers per episode.
He took to his post to urge fans to save the series with the hashtag #SaveSWAT. “I’m asking my friends, my fans and the little girl and the rest of the world who follow me or follow me on the TV series, actors, my brothers and my sisters: make some noise. And let them know that canceling SWAT is a b… mistake.”
And we have to believe that CBS heard the cries of the main cast and fans after the chain announced yesterday that the detective series created by Sean Ryan ( Night Agent ) will return for a seventh and final season.
Shemar Moore will serve as executive producer for the occasion. According to the information DeadlineThis final season consists of 13 episodes versus the usual 22.

“Once again, we want to salute the talent and efforts of the cast, writers, producers and crew, as well as everyone who contributed to the success of SWAT. We look forward to seeing him back next season.“
