After being canceled, then un-canceled, then producing what was billed as its final season, CBS' SWAT is getting yet another new lease on life. The network has picked up an eighth season of crime drama starring Shemar Moore.

S.W.A.T.'s Season 7 finale left its story "open," despite being written before its un-cancelation (https://tvline.com/previews/swat-season-7-finale-not-cancelled-1235201179/)

That's according to original cast member Kenny Johnson, who was written off the show ahead of the Season 7 finale. Johnson tells TVLine that the Season 7 finale leaves things "open" despite being written as S.W.A.T.'s final episode. Last week, CBS un-canceled S.W.A.T. and ordered an eighth season just two days before the final day of filming on Season 7.
