‘S.W.A.T.’: Hondo & Team Head to Mexico in Final Season Premiere (PHOTOS)

The team is on the move when S.W.A.T. returns for its seventh and final season on CBS.

In the S.W.A.T. Season 7 premiere, airing on February 16 — followed by the returns of Fire Country and Blue Bloods — the team is heading to Mexico City. “The Promise” sees them going to retrieve a fugitive who slipped from Hondo’s (Shemar Moore) grasp 10 years ago, but — as should be no surprise — things go awry, old wounds are reopened, and Hondo is once again on the killer’s trail, desperate to fulfill a decade-old promise. The photos, which you can check out above and below, offer a look at the investigation and focus on Hondo.

We almost didn’t get these final 13 episodes. S.W.A.T. was initially canceled in May, only for CBS and Sony to reverse that decision just three days later.

“We have listened to our viewers and their outpouring of passion for S.W.A.T. … S.W.A.T. has aired for six seasons on CBS and garnered a devoted following,” Amy Reisenbach, President, CBS Entertainment, and Katherine Pope, President, Sony Pictures Television Studios said in a joint statement at the time. “We are pleased that we found a way to bring it back and give closure to the show’s storylines and characters, which audiences deserve. Once again, we appreciate the talents and efforts of the cast, writers, producers and crew and everyone who has contributed to the success of S.W.A.T. We look forward to its return next season.”

We’ll have to wait to see how this all plays out and how S.W.A.T. ends the story of Hondo, but for now, we know we should expect an exciting premiere. Scroll down to check out the photos from “The Promise.”
