Renewed: SWAT

US action drama SWAT, featuring Shemar Moore, has been renewed for a second season.

The series, based on the 1975 series, has been averaging 9.8m US viewers, just behind another CBS renewal, SEAL Team on 10.2m viewers.

“These exciting new dramas have been sensational additions to our schedule, are striking all the right notes creatively, and really connect with our viewers,” CBS Entertainment president Kelly Kahl said in a statement. “SEAL Team has strengthened our Wednesday lineup — routinely winning its time period with over 10 million viewers and allowing us to build an even more powerful night, while SWAT has improved Thursday’s 10 p.m. hour by over 2.5 million viewers versus last season.

“Additionally, both are among the very top streamers on our digital platforms, including CBS.com and CBS All Access. We congratulate the talented casts and producers on an amazing year as we look forward to their return next season.”
