S.W.A.T. Series Finale: Action-Packed Climax with Shemar Moore

The anticipation is high as the two-hour series finale of S.W.A.T. is set to air on Friday, May 16, at 9 p.m. ET on CBS. This thrilling conclusion marks the end of an era after eight exciting seasons, with our beloved characters facing their most dangerous challenges yet.

Chilling Threats in Los Angeles

In an exclusive sneak peek shared by PEOPLE, viewers are shown a dramatic scene where Shemar Moore’s character, Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson, is alerted to a dangerous situation unfolding in Los Angeles. In the trailer, Hondo responds to a critical emergency when reports come in that a hiker has encountered an explosive device in Griffith Park, significantly raising the stakes as he races to uncover the city’s hidden dangers.

• “I just got an alert explosion at Griffith Park,” Hondo says as he enters the control center.
• A lifeguard truck in Santa Monica has reportedly run over another explosive device, escalating the chaos across the city.

As the tension mounts, Hondo learns that drones are being used to drop explosives across Los Angeles, creating a citywide emergency.

Russian Mercenaries Take Action

Things get even more complicated when Hondo discovers that a group of ex-pat Russian mercenaries is behind this calculated attack. The mercenaries, armed and masked, threaten to unleash devastation throughout the city unless their demands are met. They call for the release of Dmitri Rykov, a man they claim is being held on U.S. soil, and warn that they have planted “hundreds” of explosives in playgrounds, parks, and backyards.

As they state, “This was just sent to the local news. They’re giving us 20 minutes before they blast it wide,” the sheer scale of the threat reveals why this final episode is gearing up to be one of the most intense moments in S.W.A.T. history.

Survival at All Costs

In an exclusive second clip, we see Hondo and his team race against the clock to confront these mercenaries. Upon checking the targeted locations, they encounter a band of chemists trying to flee from the police, only to find themselves in a deadly game of survival when one of them accidentally triggers a hidden landmine.

The episode promises suspense and high-stakes drama as Hondo and his team work to prevent any casualties. The gripping storyline will keep viewers on the edge of their seats as they witness Hondo’s brave attempts to diffuse the crisis.

S.W.A.T.’s Legacy

Shemar Moore, who has played Hondo since the series premiered, expressed his commitment to the character, stating, “I’m no quitter,” especially following the news about the show’s cancellation. Fans can expect an action-packed farewell that combines gripping moments of suspense with the camaraderie that has defined the show throughout its history.

As the episode draws near, fans are buzzing with excitement, eager to see how Hondo and his team handle this ultimate challenge. Will they be able to save Los Angeles from the devastating threats lurking in the shadows? Tune in to CBS on May 16 to witness this climactic finale.
