The original police procedural was canceled three times and revived twice over the course of its eight-season run on CBS.

Now, original series star, Shemar Moore, who is set to reprise his role as Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson, took to social media to thank the fans for making the offshoot happen and even dropped the big reveal that cameras will pick up this summer.

Shemar Moore won’t forget where he came from. Hours after news broke he would be the only returning cast member to join the S.W.A.T. spinoff, the actor, who plays Hondo Harrelson, reflected the original show's legacy — which came to an end earlier this month — and shared his excitement for the new series in a message on Instagram.
