Jay Harrington will appear as Sergeant David “Deacon” Kay when the new show makes its debut, according to Entertainment Weekly. Patrick St. Esprit will reprise his role as Commander Robert Hicks. There’s no word yet on whether they’ll appear in additional episodes of the series, which is set to go into production this month. The spinoff does not have a confirmed premiere date. Nor is it clear where it might air or stream.

S.W.A.T. Exiles stars S.W.A.T. Shemar Moore as LAPD Sergeant Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson, who is now leading a new team of “untested” and “unpredictable” recruits. 

The S.W.A.T. spinoff was announced in May, months after the high-octane cop drama was canceled for a third and final time. Several original cast members were surprised to learn that the new show was in the works. They said they only heard the news shortly before the public announcement. 

“I’d be lying if I said the rollout of the new spinoff didn’t sting,” David Lim, who played Victor Tan, wrote on Instagram in late May. “It was tough to see it announced just two days after our finale—with no mention of the cast who helped build S.W.A.T. from day one.”

“After 8 incredible seasons, it felt like we were brushed aside when there could’ve been a moment of reflection and recognition—for the people who built this show, and for the impact it had on so many,” he added.
