According to The Hollywood Reporter, the TV series will focus on a native Los Angeles S.W.A.T. lieutenant who struggles between loyalty to his local connections and his squad of fellow officers.
The networks have also been investing in the action genre, with an upcoming Behind Enemy Lines TV reboot at FOX joining the currently airing Lethal Weapon and USA’s Shooter.
Their elite unit is considered “the last stop for solving crimes in L.A.”
While a TV spin-off used to happen fairly soon after its big screen source material premiered in theaters, the newest crop of series often continue or re-imagine stories from decades-old movies.
