Netflix Picks Up S.W.A.T. Starring Shemar Moore
On May 15th, Netflix took to all major social media platforms to announce they were picking up the first five seasons of CBS’s S.W.A.T. The news got even sweeter as the release date for the first five seasons was right around the corner.
“The first five seasons of the hit series S.W.A.T. are coming to Netflix (in The US) on May 17!” Netflix teased in their tweet.
The news came attached to a photo of Shemar Moore dressed up as Sergeant II Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson Jr. from the CBS series.
So, as of today, Netflix subscribers can stream the first five seasons of S.W.A.T. Presently, Season 6 of S.W.A.T. is available for streaming via Paramount+. Likewise, the first few seasons of S.W.A.T. are also available for streaming via Hulu.
The Series Just Got Saved From Cancelation
As fans of S.W.A.T. and Shemar Moore know, CBS made the colossal mistake of canceling the series. Shemar Moore made all kinds of noise on social media and seemingly accused the network of making a racist-field decision. Days later, the network reversed its decision. Unfortunately, this resulted in the cancelation of East New York which was reportedly battling S.W.A.T. for a single time slot.
