“Swat” was the youngest victim of CBS ‘ruthless Primetime blood bath on Thursday.

The action drama was canceled after eight seasons, the third time when the show was exposed to an unfortunate end when the main actor of the show, Shemar Moore, said they “had the chances”.

“We are canceled again,” said Moore in a video that was posted on Instagram on Friday. “It’s annoying. It’s sad.

“Unwrited twice, two years in a row. Now I don’t know my story, but how many shows can say that? I will not say any. Or we are one of the nobody. We did that and we are so proud. “

Moore announced that on Thursday he brought the news to the “most amazing crew in Hollywood”.

“I had to give a speech to my crew today and say: ‘Hey, we’re done. I can’t say anything to do this sound well, good, optimistic, nothing, ”he recalled. “But I said” be proud “because we opposed the chances and made a TV show that loved the world.”

The show follows LAPD Swat Sergeant Daniel “Honcho” Harrelson – played by Moore – and his highly qualified team in the area of ​​Los Angeles.

CBS was originally renewed several times, and CBS unexpectedly canceled the show after its sixth season in 2023.

The network changed its melody days later and called for a “seventh and last season”. Before another season was ordered last April.

The last nail in the coffin for the drama led by Shemar Moore, after CBS had no contract talks with Sony Pictures Television, in contrast to previous years, Deadline reported.

The show, which is broadcast on Friday evening at 10 p.m. et, is 18-49 according to the TV evaluation manual.

The executing producer and showrunner Andrew Dettmann said that he was broken by the news, but thanked the occupation and the crew, with which he worked during the course of the show.

“They are really an extraordinary group of people who all worked so hard and were so committed to all of these eight seasons to overcome countless challenges,” Dettmann told The Outlet. “I can’t give you enough recognition. I feel so privileged to have been part of the “Swat” family. “

Dettmann claimed that the show had been loved by Network managers, but alluded to a “company change” that takes place in the industry, which can play a role in the types of shows that are illuminated green.

Moore addressed the network and said it could always change his opinion.

“I say to CBS when you’re done – I know it’s about money, optics, politics – I don’t think you make the right choice,” said the star of the show. “But when you’re done, I say, thank you, honestly, honestly from my heart.”

Moore gave 90 percent of the creditworthiness for his 31 years in the action in the network between series such as “Criminal Minds”, “Young and the Restless” and “Swat”.

The actor suggested CBS that they would make “many people smile” if the managers changed their opinion and made another face in the future of the show.

He even flirted with the view that the show was picked up by another studio or network such as Netflix, NBC, FOX or ABC.

“If you are interested in a show that is on autopilot that the world is watching, we would like to play,” he said.

Regardless of the fate of the series, Moore says that he is enthusiastic about the “next chapter” of his life with his family, including his daughter.

“I’m not finished, my knees are ready, I lost £ 20, I’m ready to go.”

“Swat” joined like “FBI: Most Wanted” and “FBI: International” as an external studio shows that are from the network in canned food before the start of the autumn TV season.

It was announced that the FBI spinoffs “Most Wanted” will end after its sixth season and were canceled “internationally” after four seasons to Deadline.
