WeTV is set to air the CBS remake of “S.W.A.T.” in syndication.
The non-exclusive cable rights deal will see the first six seasons of the cop drama air on the AMC-owned network beginning Nov. 12.
“’S.W.A.T.’ is one of those high-octane procedurals that continues to captivate audiences and grow its viewership,” said Monica Veiga, senior vice president of U.S. Distribution for Sony Pictures Television, which co-produces the show. “We’re thrilled to partner with AMC Networks to bring this fan-favorite to their viewers.”
Inspired by the television series and the feature film of the same name, the show stars Shemar Moore as former Marine and locally born and raised S.W.A.T. sergeant Daniel “Hondo” Harrison. The descritption states he is “tasked to run a specialized tactical unit that is the last stop in law enforcement in Los Angeles. Torn between loyalty to where he was raised and allegiance to his brothers in blue, Hondo strives to bridge the divide between his two worlds.”
“S.W.A.T.” also airs on CBS, in syndication and is available to stream on Netflix and Hulu. The sixth season, which premiered in 2022 on CBS, averaged 6.76 million viewers per episode, according to Nielsen, a 6% increase from the previous season. The first five seasons of “S.W.A.T.” spent several weeks on Netflix’s Top 10 list as well as Nielsen’s Streaming Top 10 list.
“S.W.A.T.” is produced by Sony Pictures Television in association with CBS Studios. The series is developed by Aaron Rahsaan Thomas and Shawn Ryan.
