SWAT S1-8
Sergeant Daniel "Hondo" Harrelson and his elite tactical team Twenty Squad are back for the action-packed eighth season of S.W.A.T.
Season 8 of the Emmy-nominated action drama is set to be the final season (though the show has been cancelled twice before, and pulled through both times). The LAPD’s Special Weapons and Tactics unit (aka S.W.A.T.) will have no time for drawn-out goodbyes though, as they face an explosive prison hostage situation, a blackout, a kidnapping close to home and a nuclear threat this season.
Co-created by Emmy nominee Shawn Ryan (The Shield), S.W.A.T. has been nominated for Critics Choice Super Awards for Best Action Series and Best Actor in an Action Series (for Emmy winner Shemar Moore, as Hondo), as well as four Emmys for its stunt coordination.
Annie Ngosi Ilonzeh (Emily Foster on Chicago Fire) joins the cast this season as Officer Devin Gamble, a controversial new SWAT recruit. Also look out for multi-award-winning South African actor Stelio Savante as Omar Morina in episode 12.
