CBS has canceled “S.W.A.T.” again. The police drama was first axed in 2023 after six seasons, a decision that was reversed in favor of what was called a “seventh and final season.” The show was then renewed for an eighth season in 2024. While it appears unlikely CBS will do a third about-face, series star Shemar Moore has another thought. “Hey Netflix, how you doing?” Moore said on IG. “If you’re interested in a show that is on autopilot that the world is watching, we’d love to come play. NBC, Fox, ABC, hey, you want to come flirt with me? You’re invited to the barbecue. Pick your favorite restaurant. I will pay the bill.”
