Season 7 of SWAT, announced as the last by American channel CBS, promises to be more explosive and eventful than ever for Hondo (Shemar Moore) and his team. But the event that fans have been waiting for is still missing from these last 13 episodes.
Although Season 6 ended a few days ago on TF1 in France, SWAT will return this Friday, February 16, to the United States for a seventh round as a farewell.
A chapter that, more than ever, boasts the SWAT “family” and characters played by Shemar Moore, Jay Harrington, David Lim, and even Anna Enger Rich, who was recently promoted to regular cast after two years.
The falls are as spectacular as ever
in the given interview TVLineShowrunner Andrew Dettman revealed the outline for “The Promise,” the season 7 opener in which a SWAT team travels to Mexico for a cause that’s especially close to Hondo’s heart.
“Hondo made a promise to himself ten years ago when he escaped from a Los Angeles prison.”explains the main author of the series. “This fugitive has now been apprehended in Mexico, prompting Hondo, Hicks and Powell to travel there to bring the criminal back to the United States.”.
A mission that seems simple enough on the surface, but quickly becomes complicated: “Not everything goes as planned and it quickly turns into a giant manhunt on the streets of Mexico”Andrew Dettman continues. “There are going to be some really spectacular scenes. It’s a really great season premiere.”.
Moreover, throughout the season, and even more so in the finale, which will be broadcast in the spring on the Atlantic Ocean, fans can expect even more impressive stunts, in the pure tradition of the detective series.
“We’ve tried some spectacular things and stunts in the past, and we’re thinking of ways to make it even better.”SW.AT showrunner promises. “We have to live up to our reputation when it comes to stunts”.
Hondo and Nichel’s wedding will not be shown on screen
As for the intrigue of the series, SWAT devotees can also expect turbulence within the team, although Andrew Dettman is careful not to say too much on the subject.
“Most of this final season will see Hondo trying to keep the team together as they face many challenges.”teases the showrunner, still at the TVLine mic.
“We’re going back to the idea that SWAT is a family, so the main arc of Season 7 is about surviving the family from the obstacles and pressures they’re going to face.”.
As for viewers who got a little teary-eyed at Hondo’s marriage proposal in the Season 6 finale (which was pretty much the last episode of the series), they’ll be a little disappointed to learn that in a time jump, the couple’s wedding will already be on the way. Noted at the start of SWAT season 7.
“It’s not a secret: you immediately find that everything has moved on”explains the master of the series. You’ll notice a wedding ring on Hondo’s finger, but also on Nichelle’s finger (Rochelle Aytes). They got married between seasons.”.
A decision that may be surprising, but which can be explained by the emotional power of the marriage proposal we have already witnessed: “At the end of Season 6, we came up with such a spectacular proposal, very much like a vow. We didn’t want to repeat ourselves.”.
Fortunately, this final season of SWAT will be similar “The Great Farewell”There are many other favorite moments to be had.
