S.W.A.T. Exiles Season 2 Renewed At Starz

Check if this show is available on Amazon Prime Video. Free trial may be available.

S.W.A.T. Exiles has been renewed for a second season by Starz before the new spinoff has premiered.

Series lead Shemar Moore confirmed the early pickup, revealing that production on Season 2 is expected to begin in the coming months.

The series brings Moore back as Sergeant Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson Jr., continuing the character he played for eight seasons on CBS’s S.W.A.T. from 2017 to 2025. Exiles picks up after a high-profile mission goes wrong and Hondo is pulled out of forced retirement to lead an experimental S.W.A.T. unit made up of inexperienced and unpredictable recruits.

Moore announced the renewal in a video shared on Instagram, saying:

“What’s goodie? What’s goodie? What’s goodie? Shemar Moore in the building. You also know me as Daniel ‘Hondo’ Harrison. … I got such great news. S.W.A.T. Exiles just got picked up for Season 2, baby. That’s right, we start shooting in a couple of months. But first, mark your calendars, because Season 1 is coming September 25, exclusively on STARZ. … It’s your boy. Let’s get it.”

While Moore is the only original S.W.A.T. series regular returning full-time, the first season will maintain ties to its predecessor. Jay Harrington will guest star as David “Deacon” Kay and Patrick St. Esprit will return as Commander Robert Hicks. New series regulars include Ronen Rubinstein, Freddy Miyares, Zyra Gorecki, Lucy Barrett, and Adain Bradley.

Jason Ning serves as showrunner and executive producer alongside Moore, Neal H. Moritz, Pavun Shetty, James Scura, and Jon Cowan.

Season 1 of S.W.A.T. Exiles premieres September 25, 2026 on Starz. Season 2 is expected to premiere in 2027.
