Overview

• Sony Pictures Television greenlit a 10-episode spinoff of S.W.A.T. titled Exiles with Shemar Moore reprising Sergeant Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson.
• The new series is set after a failed mission pulls Hondo out of forced retirement to lead an experimental S.W.A.T. unit made up of untested, unpredictable recruits.
• Moore privately texted former co-stars, including Jay Harrington, about the spinoff a day before the official announcement.
• Harrington and David Lim voiced hurt at being omitted from the cast list yet indicated they would entertain guest appearances or directorial opportunities.
• Filming is slated to begin in Los Angeles this summer, reassembling much of the original 200-person production crew.
