That's because, after multiple previous cancellations which were then undone, it now looks like the procedural series has been cancelled for good, barring a last minute reprieve from another network or streaming service.
But why won't there be a SWAT season 9, and what have the cast and creatives said about the show ending? Read on for everything you need to know.
Why won't there be a SWAT season 9?
The series was initially cancelled in 2023 following season 6, but this decision was reversed, with the newly announced seventh season set to be a final run. It was intended that this would give the team the opportunity to give the show a fitting send-off.
Sadly for fans, news came through in March 2025 that SWAT was once again cancelled – with Deadline reporting that this time, it is for good.
It seems the decision was down to CBS needing to make room for new shows Sheriff Country and Boston Blue, spin-offs to Fire Country and Blue Bloods respectively. SWAT had lower viewing figures than many of the other dramas on the network's current slate.
Alongside the video, he posted the caption: "SWAT IS CANCELED…. AGAIN!!! After 8 seasons… CANCELED… maybe this time for good!!! But my momma didn’t raise NO QUITTER!!!
"No Matter what, I AM GRATEFUL n THANKFUL!!! Almost 31 years in this game of Hollywood… JOURNEY OF A DREAMER!!! To my Homies, Fans, Baby Girls, SWAT CREW, and Hollywood…. I say THANK YOU!!!! And 'FILL THE GAPS n STAY LIQUID… ROLL SWAT'!!!!"
"They are truly an extraordinary group of people who have all worked so hard and have been so dedicated for all these eight seasons, overcoming countless challenges. I can’t give them enough credit. I feel so privileged to have been a part of the SWAT family."
"Most of all I want to thank our tireless, dedicated crew who made our writers, directors and cast always look good. My greatest concern right now is for them."
