SWAT Season 5 Updates: SWAT is an action drama television series from the states, based on the 1975 television series with the matching name. The new series is developed by Aaron Rahsaan Thomas and Shawn Ryan, it premiered on CBS in 2017. The fourth season had been released back in November 2020 and they have renewed for season five, which is to be released on October 1, 2021, on platforms including Netflix.
The protagonist is Sergeant Daniel Harrelson aka Hondo, who led the team by balancing the community with the force. The series has been popular for its unique approach to realistic crime drama. The new season has reported being initiated with a ‘big two-parter, partly taking place in Mexico and south of the border. There hasn’t yet been any notion as to what the storyline will show and how the season starts, it is safe to assume it should pick up from Season four’s end.
The Plot
The series had shown the problems with the American-African revolution and how Hondo was demoted when the protests were getting massive. He also deals with racism within the department, some fans speculated he would leave the team. But there’s no such information, probability is that we would see more of his “troubles of a local widow and her daughter.” He exclaims, revealing that there would be more emotional and insider approach on his character. “Against a spectacular mountain backdrop unlike anything you see on scripted television, these first two hours of SWAT Season 5 will allow us to explore Hondo’s character and choices in a unique and exciting way for us.” says Moore.
Kenny Johnson, who plays the role of Luca is also expected to have a step-up in his game and have more screen time. More cast like Lina Esco and Alex Russell are expected to make a comeback as Chris Alonso and Jim Street as well. They have been active on social media and seen together in the production process, it’s been confirmed that there’ll be 18 episodes in season 5.
SWAT Season 5 TRailer
As of now, there have been no updates on the trailer, but we can expect for it to be released soon enough, probably by September we assume. There had been worries due to covid-19 being spread around California, there were a few cases reported on set as well. The Los Angeles County Health Department stated an outbreak associated with the Santa Clarita Studios. While there is a possibility of season 5 being postponed, it’s still best to go by CBS’s words and wait patiently for the robust series to premiere.
