Rai 2 premieres S.W.A.T. Exiles spin-off series
The police procedural spin-off S.W.A.T. Exiles debuts on Rai 2 on Saturday, October 31, 2026. The series features Shemar Moore returning as Sergeant Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson.
The story picks up two years after a tragic mission compromised Harrelson’s career and forced him into early retirement. He is called back into service by Commander Hicks to lead an experimental unit known as Squad 44, or “The Exiles.” This new team consists of young, inexperienced recruits with diverse personalities and complex backgrounds.
The premiere night includes two episodes: “Una nuova famiglia” (A New Family) and “Via libera” (Green Light). Harrelson’s primary objective is to instill discipline and teamwork within the new unit to prepare them for high-risk operations while attempting to rebuild his own professional reputation.
