S.W.A.T. could also be among the many record of reveals canceled in 2025, however that universe isn’t gone simply but. After getting canceled for a 3rd time, the CBS procedural will reside on within the type of a by-product sequence, S.W.A.T. Exiles, starring Shemar Moore. A lot of the forged have since spoken out in regards to the new sequence and the frustration over the truth that they gained’t be in it, however one star opened up a couple of storyline the spinoff must resolve, and I would like it as effectively.
The sequence finale of S.W.A.T. was not an enormous occasion, per se, but it surely was nonetheless crammed with loads of motion. Nonetheless, not each story was resolved by the top of the episode, and Annie Ilonzeh would love nothing greater than to see Gamble’s story proceed on S.W.A.T. Exiles. She instructed ScreenRant that Gamble’s brother nonetheless has loads to be explored, particularly with the best way it ended:
The present did depart on fairly the cliffhanger! Her brother [Leon] actually dissatisfied her, lied, and ended up being shady. I feel he’d actually should show himself to her that he isn’t blended up within the shady stuff. I imply, it calls his title, and so they’re twins. Not solely is that her brother, however they’re from the identical [womb]. So, she was heartbroken, for positive. It could be very nice to discover that as these two.
Contemplating Ilonzeh solely joined S.W.A.T. for its last season, followers didn’t get to see an excessive amount of of her difficult household. Regardless that we did get a whole lot of it, together with what was happening together with her dad and what her brother is like, there was solely a lot that may very well be included with out sharing an excessive amount of too quick. That storyline undoubtedly was not as fleshed out because it ought to have been, and Ilonzeh is aware of what the followers need. It additionally helps that she needs the identical factor:
As I’ve moved round on this planet and simply talked to individuals who have seen the present, they actually love that dynamic between Devin and her twin brother, so it might be so good to discover that much more. We do not actually know the place these two will go, when it comes to household or friendship, so it might be good to discover that, for positive.
It’s unhappy that we solely received a season with Annie Ilonzeh as Devin Gamble, and regardless that we did get to discover a few of her household and backstory, it didn’t really feel like sufficient. Since S.W.A.T. Exiles can be centering on principally new characters as Hondo leads a brand new workforce of recruits, it’s exhausting to foretell whether or not every other OG stars will seem. Fortunately, Ilonzeh could be down to come back again as Gamble in no matter approach, form, or kind:
Yeah, I’ve stated it so many occasions, and I am going to proceed to say it. It was one in every of my favourite tasks to work on and one in every of my favourite reveals. The forged, the crew, the storylines, the character, the motion, the impression that it has on the viewers – on me and even my household, personally. They actually cherished watching this present too, as a complete, not simply because I used to be on it. Whichever kind it returned in could be one thing that I’d soar on for positive to get again into gear and do my factor.
There are solely 10 episodes in S.W.A.T Exiles, and at this level, no different casting information has been introduced. How different stars may return is tough to foretell, however S.W.A.T. has greater than proved on quite a few events that 20-Squad is household for all times. All of them greater than probably nonetheless keep up a correspondence with one another and even nonetheless hang around, which might make for a simple excuse to carry somebody again, like Gamble.
Extra details about S.W.A.T. Exiles must be introduced quickly, however now, the hypothesis will proceed. It could be good if the sequence have been to the touch on Gamble’s storyline together with her brother and the remainder of her household, even when it’s transient, particularly since Ilonzeh is fascinated with returning. For now, although, the eighth and last season of S.W.A.T. is streaming with a Paramount+ subscription.
