The good news is that the wait is over. Fans of the eagerly anticipated "S.W.A.T." will be happy to learn that the new season is set to premiere on Wednesday, Nov. 11, with a two-hour spe- cial. Thankfully, the team itself won't have changed much when the show returns. Daniel "Hondo" Harrelson (Shemar Moore, "Criminal Minds"), Vic- tor Tan (David Lim, "Quanti- co"), Dominique Luca (Kenny Johnson, "Bates Motel") and David "Deacon" Kay (Jay Har- rington, "Better off Ted") are all expected to reappear. The show, which has gained a very dedicated band of fol- lowers throughout its first three seasons, has done so with its attention to real-life events through an action- packed format. The Season 4 premiere will be no exception to its preferred "echoing real life" approach, highlighting the 1992 L.A. riots and the impact they had on young Hondo — at that time, Hondo (Donald Dash, "Rise") would have been about 17 years old. His father, the young- er Daniel Harrelson Sr. (Rico E. Anderson, "Truth Be Told"), will also be featured. "S.W.A.T." will be looking to the past to help determine the team's future. The 1992 L.A. ri- ots lasted six days and in- volved thousands of people in Los Angeles County as civil un- rest began in the South Cen- tral region of the city, follow- ing the acquittal of four LAPD officers charged with exces- sive use of force in the arrest and the beating of Rodney King, and rippled across the metropolis. The incident, which had been videotaped, was subsequently aired on TV broadcasts and seen by mil- lions of people worldwide. While the L.A. riots storyline was planned long before the Black Lives Matter groups be- gan large-scale protests fol- lowing the deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, "S.W.A.T.'s" goal to touch on the reality of racism couldn't be more relevant given the current political climate. This season's premiere also in- cludes a racist experience for Victor's mother, and the ongo- ing plotline will address the concept of generational trau- ma by examining how the events Hondo witnessed in 1992 have a bearing on his teenage foster son, Darryl (De- shae Frost, "Chiefs," 2018), in the present day. Executive producers Aaron Rahsaan Thomas ("Sleepy Hollow") and Shawn Ryan ("The Shield") put out a public statement in June stating that the show's team would be "continuing to mine current events in the writing of our up- coming season as we all work towards a fairer, better sys- tem." This statement comes on the heels of Ryan's 2017 comment that it is "possible to be both pro-police and pro- truth," claiming that this is what the show has always tried to depict. As Season 4 progresses, there is also news that a dan- gerous international crime lord is back in town — can the S.W.A.T. and the CIA put their teams together to bring him to justice? As if that weren't enough drama, the trailer shows heated protests, mask- clad characters and danger that could shut down the city, not to mention Hondo's haunting reminder that if we want to see change, we need to be the change. One storyline that fans are eagerly awaiting in the up- coming season is that of Tan (Lim) and Bonnie (Karissa Lee Staples, "The Lottery"), who fi- nally got engaged near the end of Season 3. Can Bonnie really handle the stress of Tan's job? Effects of the past: Season 4 of 'S.W.A.T.' looks at 1992 riots featurestory Jay Harrington stars in "S.W.A.T."
