S.W.A.T. was canceled (for a third time) earlier this year, but the franchise isn't done yet. Just after the procedural's series finale premiered in May, it was announced that Sony Pictures Television had ordered a 10-episode spinoff led by Shemar Moore. At the time, some of the cast was not happy that a new series was moving forward without them. It was also unknown if anyone would be joining Moore, whose Hondo is set to lead a new team of recruits, Now, I'm excited to hear that two OG stars are appearing in the first episode!
Sony officially announced that Jay Harrington and Patrick St. Esprit are set to reprise their roles as Sergeant David “Deacon” Kay and Commander Robert Hicks, respectively, in S.W.A.T. Exiles' series premiere. Both Harrington and Esprit starred in the original for all eight seasons. As for the specific capacities in which the OGs will return and if they'll be back for more episodes, that's all unknown. Still, the fact that Deacon and Hicks are returning it all is worth celebrating.
