The “Criminal Minds” alum Shermar Moore will star in the network’s reboot of “S.W.A.T.,” Variety news has learned. He will also serve as a producer on the pilot. S.W.A.T. is an upcoming American crime drama television series, based on the film of the same name, which in itself was based on the 1975 television series. The project was ordered to series on May 12, 2017. It is set to premiere on November 2, 2017
The pilot follows a locally born and bred S.W.A.T. lieutenant, named Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson, who is torn between loyalty to the streets and duty to his fellow officers when he’s tasked to run a highly-trained unit that’s the last stop for solving crimes in Los Angeles.
He has all the ability to become a leader — he’s just not happy with the reason he just became one.
Previously announced, the pilot will also star Stephanie Sigman, who will play Jessica, an ambitious and fastidious high-ranking S.W.A.T. member.
The “S.W.A.T.” pilot was written by Aaron Thomas and will be directed by Justin Lin. Both will serve as executive producers with Shawn Ryan, Marney Hochman, Neal Moritz, Pavun Shetty and Danielle Woodrow. Sony Pictures Television and CBS Television Studios are producing the series, which is based on the 2003 film that starred Samuel L. Jackson, Colin Farrell, LL Cool J, Michelle Rodriguez and Jeremy Renner.
Moore starred on “Criminal Minds” at CBS since the show debuted in 2005, before departing the series at the end of the eleventh season last year. Insiders say there was tension on the procedural drama between Moore and former star Thomas Gibson, who was fired from the show for a series of contentious events, including an alleged physical altercation with a producer.
Moore is repped by attorney Stephen Breimer at Bloom Hergott Diemer Rosenthal Laviolette Feldman Schenkman & Goodman.
