Will Shemar Moore's Journey With SWAT End Soon? Here's What We Know About Spin-Off Plans
It's time for S.W.A.T. fans to rejoice because the show's spin-off starring Shemar Moore as Daniel 'Hondo' Harrelson will see the light of day. The new show, by Sony Pictures Studios, is named S.W.A.T. Exiles, per Deadline.
Moore reprising his iconic character only makes it more exciting. Along with him, a 200-person production team that helped create the original show for CBS will also get to keep their gig when the new project starts its production this summer in Los Angeles, per the report.
The studio is reportedly planning to produce and distribute the 10-episode season worldwide by 'finding the right homes and partners for these new stories to reach the passionate S.W.A.T. fanbase and attract new viewers.'
The showrunner hat for the spinoff will be donned by Jason Ning, according to the outlet. Additionally, along with starring in the venture, Moore will also executive produce it with Neal H. Moritz and Pavun Shetty of Original Film and James Scura.
When it comes to the other cast members, there is no official announcement about who else will be featured in the show.
The publication also mentioned the venture's logline that reads, 'After a high-profile mission goes sideways, Hondo is pulled out of forced retirement to lead a last-chance experimental S.W.A.T. unit made up of untested, unpredictable young recruits.'
It further read, 'Hondo must bridge a generational divide, navigate clashing personalities, and turn a squad of outsiders into a team capable of protecting the city and saving the program that made him who he is.'
For the unversed, the original S.W.A.T. series ended after its 8-season run on May 16 on CBS.

Scott Caan and Elizabeth Debicki Join Brad Pitt in David Fincher's Next Untitled Project
Actors Scott Caan and Elizabeth Debicki have joined Brad Pitt in an upcoming Netflix film, whose details remain largely under wraps. The project centers around Cliff Booth, the stuntman character portrayed by Pitt in Quentin Tarantino's 2019 film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. This new story is set in a later time period than the original movie. While details are tightly guarded, sources say the film draws from a script Tarantino wrote but chose not to direct. Pitt reportedly convinced him to let director David Fincher take over the project, which was greenlit earlier this year. The film's storyline may include elements from Tarantino's 2021 novel, which expanded on Cliff Booth's backstory, including the controversial death of his wife. However, it is unclear how closely the movie will follow the book. Debicki and Caan's roles have not been confirmed. Sources suggest the script includes two major female characters — one running a bar and mud wrestling venue, and another described as a trophy wife — but it's unknown whether Debicki will play either of these roles. For Caan, this marks a reunion with Pitt, having worked together in the Ocean's Eleven trilogy. Production is expected to begin in California this July. Netflix has not released any official statements regarding the new cast members. Scott Caan, son of late actor James Caan, is known for his work in television, including CBS's Hawaii Five-0 and Fox's Alert: Missing Persons Unit. His film credits include Varsity Blues and Gone in 60 Seconds. Elizabeth Debicki gained widespread recognition for her portrayal of Princess Diana in Netflix's The Crown. She has also appeared in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Tenet, and the upcoming Maxxxine. Both actors are represented by CAA, with Caan also managed by Linden Entertainment and Sloane Offer.

Loretta Swit, Emmy-winner who played Maj. Houlihan on pioneering series ‘M.A.S.H.,' has died at 87
Loretta Swit, who won two Emmy Awards playing Maj. Margaret Houlihan, the demanding head nurse of a behind-the-lines surgical unit during the Korean War on the pioneering hit TV series 'M.A.S.H.,' has died. She was 87. Publicist Harlan Boll says Swit died Friday at her home in New York City, likely from natural causes. Swit and Alan Alda were the longest-serving cast members on 'M.A.S.H.,' which was based on Robert Altman's 1970 film, which was itself based on a novel by Richard Hooker, the pseudonym of H. Richard Hornberger. The CBS show aired for 11 years from 1972 to 1983, revolving around life at the 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital, which gave the show its name. The two-and-a-half-hour finale on Feb. 28, 1983, lured over 100 million viewers, the most-watched episode of any scripted series ever. Rolling Stone magazine put 'M.A.S.H.' at No. 25 of the best TV shows of all time, while Time Out put it at No. 34. It won the Impact Award at the 2009 TV Land annual awards. It won a Peabody Award in 1975 'for the depth of its humor and the manner in which comedy is used to lift the spirit and, as well, to offer a profound statement on the nature of war.'
