S.W.A.T. Season 6 Plot and Cast
The makers of the show have not revealed much about the plot of the show. However, the acclaimed TV show follows Sergeant Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson (played by Moore), a former marine and Los Angeles bred SWAT sergeant who runs a highly-trained, specialized tactical unit in Los Angeles.
S.W.A.T. is not one to shy away from heavy topics; the series has been commended for its approach to handling stories that involve tensions between police and the African-American community, as the show’s lead character is recognized as a bridge between the force and the community.
S.W.A.T. is based on a 1975 series of the same name which followed the operations of a SWAT team in an unnamed Californian city. The 1975 series starred Steve Forrest as Lt “Hondo” Harrelson, the unit’s leader.
Though it only ran for two seasons, the show spawned a spin-off The Rookies, and a 2003 feature film that had Samuel L. Jackson as Sergeant II Dan “Hondo” Harrelson.
Coming to the cast of the upcoming season, we should get to see Shemar Moore, Alex Russell, Lina Esco, Kenny Johnson, Jay Harrington, David Lim, and Patrick St. Esprit as the show’s main ensemble. Any more additions are expected to be announced soon by the makers.
