The first images from S. W. A. T. Exiles are out, offering fans the first look at the highly awaited show and the franchise's next chapter. Front and center we have Shemar Moore who is reprising his role as Sergeant Daniel Harrelson Jr.

The image shows Harrelson alongside a new generation of recruits, and from what we can sense, the atmosphere is sharper, grittier and more intense. Moore has previously talked about how the show carries the familiar DNA of the original show while delivering a “raw, real, and gritty” energy under showrunner Jason Ning.

In a previous statement reported by TV Line, the actor teased the show and what it's bringing for fans as he stated,

"Get ready for S.W.A.T. 2.0! After eight incredible years of defying the odds and entertaining the world, we're about to take the franchise to a whole new level — bigger, better, and edgier. With a fresh cast and a darker, more intense Hondo, we're ready to bring this story to life and show you what we've created together. Thanks to the fans and Sony for keeping us alive, you won't want to miss what's next!"

More details about S. W. A. T. Exiles

S. W. A. T. Exiles follows Daniel, who is pulled out of retirement to lead a last chance experimental SWAT unit made up of young recruits. He must work hard to bring the team together, past the difficulties and the clashing personalities and get a last chance to work with the team that changed his life.

Joining Moore are series regulars Ronen Rubinstein as Jude Reddick, Freddy Miyares as Ethan Cole, Lucy Barrett as Samantha Bishop, Zyra Gorecki as Cassidy Han, and Adain Bradley as Malik Henderson. The recruits range from a former Marine to an undercover cop with a controversial past, an academy standout refusing desk duty, and others carrying secrets that could complicate the team's dynamic.

The official logline of S. W. A. T. Exiles reads,

"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. 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."
