Niko Pepaj will kick off Season 8 of CBS’ "S.W.A.T." on October 18 with a promotion.

Returning as Officer Miguel Alfaro, Pepaj has been upgraded to a series regular fulfilling his character’s wish to be a permanent member of 20 Squad.



Additionally, the new season will welcome Annie Ilonzeh into the fold in the role of Devin Gamble in a recurring capacity.

Gamble was born into an L.A. family deeply entrenched in crime, leaving her with a fierce determination to break free of her blood legacy. She thought she’d achieved that, becoming a standout as an LAPD rookie… until her father’s arrest for a heinous crime cast a shadow Gamble could only escape by leaving LA for the Oakland PD.

Now, a decade later, Hondo brought Gamble back home to become an integral new member of 20-Squad, knowing her inner strength, intuition, and street smarts will make her an invaluable part of the team.
