The high-energy spinoff, S.W.A.T. Exiles, starring Shemar Moore as LAPD S.W.A.T. Sergeant Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson, released its adrenaline-fueled trailer this morning. The spin-off of the fan favorite, hit series S.W.A.T., raises the stakes of the legacy series, introducing a bold new era.
The story picks up with Moore reprising his role as Hondo, who spent his career proving that discipline and loyalty can be built, not just born. But after a botched raid ends in the death of a young operator Nico Reyes, Hondo was forced to walk away from the career that meant everything to him.

That is, until his old commanding officer, Robert Hicks (Patrick St. Esprit), offers him one last shot at redemption: start up a brand-new SWAT unit, built from LA’s most talented rejects. At first Hondo is reluctant, but the pull of SWAT is enticing.
The result is a squad nobody expected: Sammy Bishop (Lucy Barrett), a gun-show influencer with something to prove; Ethan Cole (Freddy Miyares), a socially awkward tactical savant; Cassidy Reed (Zyra Gorecki), guarded and determined to earn her place; Jude Callan (Ronen Rubinstein), a wildcard with a troubled past; and Malik Anderson (Adain Bradley), sharp, ambitious, and hiding more than anyone realizes.
“I read your personal files, all of them,” Hondo tells the new recruits. “And I saw what they saw. Rejection, flaws, and reasons to pass you over. And then they paired you with me. A disgraced has-been clinging to his badge. That is what they say about me behind my back. They didn’t pick us to succeed or reform anything. They picked us all to burn together.”
Needless to say, at first the experiment to build a new SWAT squad looks to be a failure, but when called upon for their first mission, together, under Hondo’s command, they become the Exiles, a team built to fail, in theory, but determined to prove otherwise.
Season 1 of S.W.A.T. Exiles will also include some familiar faces in addition to St. Esprit. Also scheduled to make guest star appearances are Jay Harrington as David “Deacon” Kay and David Lim as Victor Tan.
As Hondo builds a new team, he realizes that someone inside his own unit has been feeding information to outside interests. What begins as paranoia becomes a slow-motion realization: SWAT itself is being set up to fail, and someone with real power wants it gone; replaced by something more private, more controllable, and far less accountable.
Hondo tells Hicks, “Someone powerful is making moves and I’m done being a pawn.”
And when Hicks asks him what he plans to do, Hondo says, “Bury them.”

Caught between protecting his team, chasing the truth, and staying one step ahead of the people trying to erase him, Hondo has to decide how far he’s willing to go, and who he can actually trust, as the walls close in.
He tells Deacon, “There’s a traitor on my team and we’re going to smoke him out.”
Alliances shift, loyalties are tested, and by the season’s end, Hondo and the Exiles are forced into a final reckoning that will determine not just their careers, but the future of S.W.A.T. itself.
S.W.A.T. Exiles premieres exclusively on STARZ on Friday, September 25.
