S.W.A.T. Season 9: Renewal status, release date speculation and everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on July 18, 2025, 20:30 IST Last updated July 18, 2025, 20:04 IST If you're a fan of S.W.A.T., the CBS cop drama starring Shemar Moore as the tough-but-fair Sergeant Daniel 'Hondo' Harrelson, you're probably wondering what's next after the wild ride of Season 8. The show's been a rollercoaster, dodging cancellations before, but the latest news has fans on edge. So, is S.W.A.T. coming back for Season 9? Here's everything we know so far. Renewal Status: Is S.W.A.T. Season 9 Happening? Right now, S.W.A.T. is not renewed for a ninth season. CBS pulled the plug in March 2025, marking the show's third cancellation since it started in 2017. Yep, third. This show's been through more breakups and makeups than a soap opera couple. Back in 2023, after Season 6, CBS canceled it, only for fans and Shemar Moore to rally hard enough to bring it back for Season 7. Then, in April 2024, CBS gave it a Season 8 greenlight, calling it the 'final season.' But when the axe fell again this year, it stung. There's still a sliver of hope, though. Sony Pictures Television, the studio behind S.W.A.T. , is actively shopping the show to other networks and streaming platforms. Shemar Moore took to Instagram in March, practically begging Netflix or someone else to pick it up, saying, 'We've got stories left to tell, and fans who deserve more.' A petition to save the show has racked up about 80,000 signatures, showing the fanbase isn't giving up. But as of now, no one's stepped up to save the day. No Netflix, no Paramount+, no anybody. Still, the fact that Sony's trying keeps the door cracked open. When Could S.W.A.T. Season 9 Come Out? Since there's no renewal, there's no official release date for Season 9. But let's play the guessing game. If, say, Netflix or another platform swoops in by late 2025, production would need time to ramp up. S.W.A.T. usually premiered in the fall—October or November—for most of its run, with Season 8 hitting screens on October 18, 2024. Filming a season typically takes 6-8 months, plus a few months for pre- and post-production. So, if a miracle happens and Season 9 gets greenlit soon, we're looking at a release in fall 2026, maybe September or October. If a streamer like Netflix picks it up, they might go for a shorter season (10-13 episodes instead of 22), which could speed things up to, say, summer 2026. But this is all just me crunching numbers based on how TV works—no promises, since nothing's confirmed. S.W.A.T. Season 9 Expected Cast If S.W.A.T. gets a ninth season, we'd expect the Season 8 crew to return, assuming they're available. That includes: Shemar Moore as Hondo Harrelson, the heart and soul of the show. as Hondo Harrelson, the heart and soul of the show. Jay Harrington as Deacon Kay, the veteran with a big heart. as Deacon Kay, the veteran with a big heart. David Lim as Victor Tan, the team's sharpshooter. as Victor Tan, the team's sharpshooter.

Annie Ilonzeh as Devin Gamble, the team's latest addition. What Would Season 9 Be About? The Season 8 finale, 'Return to Base,' aired on May 16, 2025, and left us hanging. Without spoiling too much, the two-parter had Hondo, Victor Tan, and Zoe Powell dealing with a crew of Russian mercenaries wreaking havoc in L.A. with hidden bombs. The episode ended with a big 'uh-oh' moment—a target on our heroes' backs they don't even know about. If Season 9 happens, it'd probably kick off resolving that mess, with the 20-Squad facing new threats and personal drama. The show's always mixed gritty action with real-world issues like racism, loyalty, and family, so expect more of that. Annie Ilonzeh, who plays Devin Gamble, teased in an interview that there are 'tons of stories left to explore' for the team. Maybe we'd see Hondo grappling with leadership challenges or Tan and Powell's arcs getting deeper. The writers have never been shy about throwing curveballs, so who knows what else they'd cook up?

Selling Sunset Season 9: Release date rumors, cast updates and what to expect next
Selling Sunset, Netflix's hit reality series, has kept fans hooked with its mix of luxury real estate, high-stakes drama, and glamorous lifestyles. After an explosive Season 8, anticipation is building for Season 9. From release date speculation to cast updates and potential storylines, here's everything we know so far. Release Date Rumours for Selling Sunset Season 9 Netflix hasn't spilt the tea on an official release date yet, but there's plenty of chatter to piece things together. Back in November 2024, Amanza Smith dropped a major hint on TikTok with a post captioned, 'And we're back! #SellingSunsetSeason9,' confirming the show's renewal. That got fans hyped, but the question remains: when will it actually hit our screens? Looking at past seasons, Selling Sunset usually follows a 9- to 12-month gap between releases. Season 8 landed in September 2024, a bit earlier than the usual November slot. Filming for Season 9 kicked off late last year but hit a snag due to the Los Angeles wildfires in January 2025. Jason Oppenheim told Business Insider that production took a pause to support recovery efforts, and they're still figuring out whether the fires will make it into the storyline. With that delay, the timeline's a bit fuzzy, but I'm betting on a premiere sometime between September and November 2025. Some blogs, like are throwing around September 5, 2025, as a possible date, but Netflix hasn't backed that up yet. Cast Updates: Who's Returning and New Faces The Selling Sunset crew is known for its shifting dynamics, and Season 9 is shaping up to be no different. Most of the Season 8 gang is expected to return, but there's a new face in town and some juicy speculation about a fan-favorite comeback. Here's the lowdown: Jason and Brett Oppenheim : The O Group bosses are the glue of the show, so expect them back, juggling million-dollar listings and office drama. Chrishell Stause : Despite her epic clash with Nicole Young in Season 8, Chrishell told in October 2024 she's sticking around as a 'businesswoman.' No way she's missing this. Mary Bonnet : Mary's ready for action, teasing TooFab that she's gearing up with 'war gear' for a wild season. She also hinted that the usual crew is back. Emma Hernan : Emma's got unfinished business after Nicole's messy rumors in Season 8. She told PEOPLE in December 2024 she's ready to 'speak her truth' in Season 9. Chelsea Lazkani : Fresh off her divorce filing in March 2024, Chelsea's personal life will likely take center stage, especially after her fallout with Bre Tiesi. Amanza Smith : She's the one who broke the renewal news, so she's definitely in. Bre Tiesi : Bre's stirring the pot as always, with her feud with Chelsea still simmering. Nicole Young : Things got dicey for Nicole after her rumour-spreading in Season 8. She told Us Weekly in January 2025 that she wasn't fired but paused filming to avoid 'contentious' vibes. Her return's still up in the air. Alanna Gold: The Pioneertown-owning newbie from Season 8 is likely back to keep proving herself. Now, here's the big one: Sandra Vergara, Sofía Vergara's sister, is joining the O Group! Variety reported in July 2025 that Sandra's stepping in as a new realtor, bringing her luxury real estate chops and media savvy. She called the gig a 'perfect fit' for her go-getter vibe, so expect her to shake things up. Oh, and what about Christine Quinn? Fans have been begging for her return since she left after Season 5. She was spotted hanging with Jason, Mary, and Nicole at an event in June 2024, and Jason told TMZ he'd be open to her coming back if the group agrees. Nothing's confirmed, but the buzz is real. What to Expect in Selling Sunset Season 9 Season 8 ended with cliffhangers and unresolved tensions, setting the stage for a dramatic Season 9. Here are the key storylines and themes to expect: 1. Chrishell vs. Nicole: Round Two The Chrishell-Nicole feud is far from over. Nicole's Season 8 claim that Emma was involved with a married man sent shockwaves, and Chrishell was not having it, threatening to quit unless she got a major paycheck to deal with Nicole. Nicole recently hinted to Us Weekly about a 'pretty awful' Season 9 moment with Chrishell, so brace for more fireworks. Emma's also ready to clap back, saying she felt muzzled last season and wants to set the record straight. 2. Chelsea and Bre's Bad Blood Bre dropping bombs about Chelsea's ex-husband Jeff's alleged cheating was a Season 8 gut-punch, and Chelsea's not letting it slide. With her divorce playing out, Chelsea's storyline might get raw and emotional, especially if Bre keeps poking the bear. 3. Sandra Vergara's Big Entrance Sandra is joining the O Group with serious credentials and a bold personality. Fans are curious to see if she'll clash with the veterans over listings or bring some unexpected alliances. She teased 'twists you won't see coming,' so fans are already intrigued.

Here's everything we know about Season 10's release date, cast updates and what's in store for this emotional farewell. Release Date Rumors: When Will Queer Eye Season 10 Premiere? While Netflix hasn't announced an official premiere date for Queer Eye Season 10, production began in Washington, D.C., on July 9, 2025. Based on the show's typical production timeline and past release patterns, fans can expect the season to drop sometime between October and December 2025. For instance, Season 9 began filming in early 2024 and premiered on December 11, 2024, suggesting a similar turnaround for the final season. Previous seasons have often followed a fall or winter release schedule, with Season 8 airing in January 2024 and Season 9 in December 2024. If filming wraps by summer 2025, as hinted by cast member Jonathan Van Ness, a late 2025 release feels likely. Keep an eye on Netflix's official channels for a confirmed date closer to the time.

In a February 2025 interview, Brent shared his excitement, saying, 'Oh, my God, we're so ready. I'm ready to go.' Bobby Berk's departure in November 2023 was a big shift for the show. He cited scheduling conflicts and new projects as reasons for leaving, emphasizing that his exit was amicable and unrelated to cast drama. While some fans hoped for his return in Season 10, sources confirm Brent will continue as the design expert. There's no word on additional cast changes, but the current Fab Five are set to bring their A-game for the final season. What to Expect from Queer Eye Season 10 Season 10 promises to be a heartfelt celebration of Queer Eye 's legacy.

A Legacy Celebration : Netflix has teased that the final season will honor the show's impact, which includes 37 Emmy nominations, 11 wins, and a record-breaking six consecutive wins for Outstanding Structured Reality Program. The season may include nods to past heroes or memorable moments from the series. Jeremiah Brent's Design Magic : Brent's fresh perspective on interior design, known for its elegance and emotional resonance, will continue to shine.
