CBS has put the hammer down on three of their most popular shows, SWAT, FBI: Most Wanted and FBI: International, leaving fans devastated.
Shemar Moore, who headlines SWAT – which has been canceled twice before by the network – put a call out to the otter networks as he praised the show’s loyal fanbase.
“Hey Netflix, how you doing?” Shemar said on Instagram. “Let me just remind you that in a very short period of time, once upon a time ago, it only took us about two weeks to go from number 15 to number one. And then we stayed in your top 10, top 15 for about six months, nine months, maybe a year.”

“So Netflix, if you’re interested in a show that is on autopilot that the world is watching, we’d love to come play,” he continued.
“NBC, Fox, ABC, hey, you want to come[and] flirt with me? You’re invited to the barbecue. Pick your favorite restaurant. I will pay the bill.”

SWAT CREATOR SPEAKS OUT
“It’s heartbreaking news, primarily because it’s been such an immense pleasure working with this cast and crew to put out a show that we’ve always been proud of, S.W.A.T. executive producer/showrunner Andrew Dettmann said following the news.
“They are truly an extraordinary group of people who have all worked so hard and have been so dedicated for all these eight seasons, overcoming countless challenges. I can’t give them enough credit. I feel so privileged to have been a part of the S.W.A.T. family.”
