Despite returning from the dead several times over the years, CBS has really said goodbye to "Swat", as the final of the 8th season's 8th show was really the final in the series. So it's time for the gang that viewers met and wanted more than 160 episodes to move on. In the case of Schemar Moore's Hondo, it will be as head of the spin-off series in the development of the network. In the case of everyone else, it is on other projects.

For some of the long -standing members of the show, they have come farewell earlier than expected. For example, Kenny Nsonson's favorite Dominic Luke has left the series after appearing in just a few episodes during season 7. Why, exactly? Well, Let's not forget that "Swat" was canceled by CBS after Season 6Just to come back after the fans asked for it. So when the 7th Season was rolling, the creative team of the show believed it was really the end.

For Luke, that end came after he was shot several times in the previous episode. While he really survived, there was nervous damage as a result of those injuries, which forced Luke to make a choice: to take a job or retire. Luke chose the second option, with her emotional retirement taking place in the "Last Call" episode in season 7. This explains how Luke left the show, but why did NSONSON leave? That is the more important question for viewers.

As we mentioned, CBS has actually tried to cancel "SWAT" multiple times during runningAnd not just after the 6th season. So when Season 7 was rolling, the show's creative team really thought this would be their last rush. As a result, they chose to treat season 7 as the show's conclusion. This is where the decision about Luke has emerged.

Showerer Andrew Detman explained the situation TVLin In 2024, stating that the creatives of the show wanted to give all the long -standing actors in the series at the beginning of season 7. As a result, they decided to give Luke a proper sending (even if that meant his departure from the show) and did the same with the same season. Here's what Detman had to say about it at the time:

"Looking at (Season 7) as the last 13 (episodes), we wanted to give all the appropriate curtains for curtains. So, the episodes we have for (Luke and Street) are really focused on their characters and the evolution of their stories. Luke. "

Season 7 of "Swat" was only 13 episodes, compared to at least 18 for each other season. Detman and the team had every reason to believe that this was the song of the show's swans. After all, CBS became far selective with renewal in the streaming era. (Even shows like Queen Latifa's "equalizer" got the ax since then.) The fact that the "swat" season 8 happened was surprising, but Luke - and NSONSON - already moved until then.

Johonson continued to act Taylor Sheridan's "Kingstown Mayor" along with Ereeremi Renneras well as several FBI episodes: International. Whether there were discussions to somehow return Luke to "Swat" Season 8 may have been irrelevant. Nsonson is an actor and, as such, went and found another job.

Talking to TVLin For his latest episode in 2024, Nsonson explained how he felt during the recording. For him, there were parallels between Luke to say goodbye to the forces and the actor to say goodbye to his castimaches.

"We've all been so close to each other all the time that every time I looked at them, it was difficult because Luke's departure, but for me I lose these friends with whom I have been linked for six years, every day."

"It's a heavy swallowing pill. I can't work a desk," NSONSON said in a different interview with TwinsHe further unpacked his departure from the show. "Luke has a difficult time to be emotionally wrapped by the fact that he cannot go out and be the best he can do what he does. He was born in Swat, which is all known. His whole heart and conscience, I would say, I would say, is about giving and saving. And he wants to be there actively;
