  "account": "S.W.A.T. Exiles has been granted a second season ahead of its series premiere on September 25. A spin-off of the long-running CBS procedural S.W.A.T., Exiles stars Shemar Moore as Sergeant II Daniel Hondo Harrelson Jr. Moore, known for his role as Daniel Hondo Harrison, expressed his excitement on Instagram. S.W.A.T. Exiles will begin filming in a few months, with Season 1 set to premiere on STARZ. After a high-profile mission gone wrong, Hondo is pulled out of mandatory retirement to lead an experimental S.W.A.T. unit comprised of young, untested recruits. While Moore is the only returning cast member from the original series, several of his former co-stars are expected to make guest appearances. New characters will include Ronen Rubinstein, Freddy Miyares, Zyra Gorecki, Lucy Barrett, and Adain Bradley. Jason Ning is set to serve as showrunner and executive producer, alongside Moore, Neal H. Moritz, Pavun Shetty, James Scura, and Jon Cowan.",
