S.W.A.T. Exiles spinoff series begins production under new showrunner guidance
Starz has greenlit a new S.W.A.T. spinoff titled Exiles following the conclusion of the original series run on CBS.
Showrunner shares franchise history
Jason Ning, the new showrunner for the project, expressed his long-standing appreciation for the original action series. He noted that he admired the leadership themes and weekly action sequences before being selected to guide this newest version. Ning previously worked on projects such as The Brothers Sun and Lucifer.
Original series cancellation details
The original show premiered in November 2017 and aired six seasons until May 2023 when it faced initial cancellation. CBS later reversed that decision to air a seventh season before the network officially ended its run on May 16, 2025. Actor Shemar Moore criticized the first cancellation as a mistake during that period.
Spinoff development timeline
Sony Pictures TV announced the greenlight for the spinoff shortly after the CBS run concluded. The new series aims to evolve the franchise with a darker and edgier tone according to Ning. This development marks a fresh start for the property after its long history on television.
