One day after S.W.A.T. EXILES confirmed the returns of two original cast members in guest-starring roles, the spinoff has unveiled its full cast of series regulars.
Ronen Rubinstein (9-1-1: Lone Star), Freddy Miyares (When They See Us), Lucy Barrett (The CW’s Charmed), Zyra Gorecki (La Brea) and Adain Bradley (All American) will be joining Shemar Moore in the offshoot, TVLine has learned.
Have a look at Hondo’s “unpredictable young recruits” below:
No official character details were included in the announcement, but as TVLine reported back in July, S.W.A.T. EXILES put out casting calls for a “charismatic, Black former Marine from South Central; an undercover cop with a questionable shooting in his past; an amputee who was at the top of her class at the academy and refuses to ride a desk; a tactical prodigy with a disruptive lack of social skills; and a former beauty queen who now works as a law enforcement ‘influencer.’”
“After a high-profile mission goes sideways, Daniel ‘Hondo’ Harrelson is pulled out of forced retirement to lead a last-chance experimental S.W.A.T. unit made up of untested, unpredictable young recruits,” reads the spinoff’s official logline. “Hondo must bridge a generational divide, navigate clashing personalities, and turn a squad of outsiders into a team capable of protecting the city and saving the program that made him who he is.”
As previously reported, original S.W.A.T. series regulars Jay Harrington and Patrick St. Espirit will reprise their roles as Sergeant David “Deacon” Kay and Commander Robert Hicks in the S.W.A.T. EXILES pilot. Harrington had previously spoken to TVLine shortly after the spinoff was announced, expressing his disappointment in not being included.
Production on S.W.A.T. EXILES‘ 10-episode first season begins later this month in Los Angeles, with Kevin Tancharoen (The Book of Boba Fett) directing the series premiere. Jason Ning serves as showrunner, executive-producing alongside Moore, Neal H. Moritz, Pavun Shetty, James Scura and Jon Cowan.
