Even though S.W.A.T.’s fifth season will premiere in October, it’s worth noting the show will only be airing the first three episodes before taking a break.
Global Citizen competition series The Activist will take over S.W.A.T.’s Friday night slot starting on October 22.
The drama will return to its regularly scheduled time on Friday, December 3 before moving to Sundays later in the season. S.W.A.T.’s shifting schedule may not be good news to fans who were patient during the many breaks last season, but should be worth it considering how “incredible” the season will be, according to Shemar Moore.
