Summary
Sept. 25 is the U.S. premiere date for SWAT Exiles after Starz picked up the Sony-produced spinoff of CBS' 2017-25 drama.
10 episodes were produced on spec after CBS canceled SWAT during the 2024-25 season, with Shemar Moore returning as Hondo, pulled from forced retirement to train new recruits.
Sony also secured distribution across Europe, Latin America, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and Africa, with several territories launching the series on Sept. 25 as well.
The pickup extends the SWAT franchise beyond its CBS run and gives Starz a series aimed at an established fan base while Sony tests its global premium-IP strategy.
