CBS’s action-packed crime drama S.W.A.T. was more than just another police procedural. With its intense storytelling, dynamic character arcs, and thrilling action sequences, the series built a dedicated fan base that was not ready to say goodbye. Led by Shemar Moore as Sergeant Daniel Harrelson, the show offered a gripping blend of heart and heroism. When CBS pulled the plug on the show, fans were left shocked and disappointed, knowing there would not be another season to continue the adrenaline-fueled missions they had come to love.

All hope is not lost. Shemar Moore is not ready to surrender, and his latest signal flare suggests Netflix might be the perfect new headquarters for S.W.A.T..

According to Deadline, Shemar Moore is actively seeking a revival for S.W.A.T. following its cancellation by CBS, making a direct appeal to Netflix. The Emmy-nominated actor expressed gratitude for his 31-year journey in the industry, and credited 90 percent of it to the network, but made it clear that he believes CBS is making the wrong decision. In a video shared on Instagram, Moore hinted at a potential revival, stating, “Netflix, if you’re interested in a show that is on autopilot that the world is watching, we’d love to come play.”

Shemar Moore’s plea to Netflix comes at a time when beloved shows have met untimely ends, as seen with many beautiful shows that ended in 2024. Much like those fan favorites, S.W.A.T. has a dedicated audience that is unwilling to let it go. Moore assured fans that he and his castmates “ain’t done chasing bad guys” and are ready to bring their high-octane action back, if Netflix or another network answers the call.

Taking a look back at Netflix's history with reviving shows, Shemar Moore's hope might not go to waste after all.

Netflix has built a reputation for breathing new life into canceled shows, giving them a second chance to thrive. When Fox cancelled Lucifer after three seasons, the streaming giant stepped in, extending the series for three more highly successful seasons. Similarly, NBC’s Manifest was canceled after three seasons, only for Netflix to bring it back with a final season that allowed the story to reach its intended conclusion. Even You, originally a Lifetime series, found global success after Netflix revived it.

With this track record, Shemar Moore and S.W.A.T. fans have reason to be hopeful. The action-packed series has already proven its popularity on Netflix’s charts, and Moore has made it clear that the cast is ready to return. If Netflix takes on another rescue mission, S.W.A.T. could be back in action, proving once again that cancellations do not always mean the end.
