“S.W.A.T. Exiles,” a spinoff of the CBS action drama “S.W.A.T.,” has secured a U.S. network home at Starz. All three outlets report that Starz will premiere the series on September 25. The show stars Shemar Moore, who returns as Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson, continuing his role from the original series.
Deadline adds that Sony Pictures Television, the series producer and distributor, completes rights deals in major markets, with the Starz agreement specifically covering U.S. pay-TV rights. TVLine similarly frames Starz’s pickup as adding the police procedural to its lineup, while Variety confirms the Starz release date and Moore’s return.
Taken together, the reports indicate that the spinoff is moving forward with a scheduled fall launch on Starz in the United States, following Sony’s distribution and licensing arrangements.
