"It's Been Called the Final Season the Last Three or Four Seasons, Hasn't It?" 'S.W.A.T' EP Addresses Season 9 Possibilities

For fans of the hit CBS procedural, S.W.A.T. still holding out hope that their favorite show will receive a Season 9 renewal, well, there's no good news just yet, but there are reasons to keep that hope alive!

S.W.A.T. has twice survived the CBS chopping block and there's a likelihood that it could yet again cheat death for the third time. The show's executive producer and former showrunner, Shawn Ryan, recently teased a positive future for the procedural in his latest interview with Deadline.
