Starz releases the trailer for “S.W.A.T. Exiles,” a spinoff series starring Shemar Moore. The show premieres September 25 and brings Moore back as LAPD S.W.A.T. Sergeant Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson. Across the trailer descriptions, Hondo is portrayed as seeking redemption after a critical incident that pushes him to confront the consequences of his actions.
The outlets frame the premise with overlapping details: a botched raid is described as triggering a death, after which Hondo must step away from his role. Variety adds that the series’ episodes run weekly on Fridays, while Deadline and The Hollywood Reporter emphasize Hondo’s focus on redemption and his work with misfits. Together, the coverage positions “S.W.A.T. Exiles” as both a continuation of the “S.W.A.T.” world and a character-driven story built around discipline, accountability, and second chances.
