But this represents the third time “S.W.A.T.” has been cancelled by the Eye net — so it’s probably tough to tell at this point if it’s really, really the end.

SWAT is based on the 1975 ABC series of the same name, and stars Shemar Moore as Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson. Shawn Ryan and and Dettmann executive produce with Justin Lin, Neal H. Moritz, Marney Hochman, Pavun Shetty, Billy Gierhart, Moore and James Scura.

S.W.A.T. has ran out of lives. CBS has canceled the police drama starring Shemar Moore, now in its eighth season.

CBS has opted not to renew the Shemar Moore-led procedural for a ninth season, an individual with knowledge told TheWrap. The news comes as “S.W.A.T.” rolls out its eighth and now final season, whose season finale will now serve as a series finale.

S.W.A.T.' was canceled by CBS after eight seasons and two other cancellations. Here's why the series is ending and what the cast and crew said.
