CBS Renews SWAT, SEAL Team For Second Seasons

CBS has given second seasons to two of its freshmen series in S.W.A.T. and SEAL Team. The network announced on Tuesday that the two action-dramas have been renewed.

“These exciting new dramas have been sensational additions to our schedule, are striking all the right notes creatively, and really connect with our viewers,” said Kelly Kahl, President, CBS Entertainment. “SEAL Team has strengthened our Wednesday line up – routinely winning its time period with over 10 million viewers and allowing us to build an even more powerful night, while S.W.A.T. has improved Thursday’s 10:00 PM hour by over 2.5 million viewers versus last season. Additionally, both are among the very top streamers on our digital platforms, including CBS.com and CBS All Access. We congratulate the talented casts and producers on an amazing year as we look forward to their return next season.”

Neither show has become a breakout hit for CBS, but as Kahl noted they’ve both been solid. In addition, the streaming numbers Kahl claims probably aided in their renewal chances. 411’s TV Renewal Predictions had both shows on the Bubble.
