It looks like CBS had a change of heart.

The network has decided to renewS.W.A.T.for a seventh and final season, just three days afteroriginally canceling the series.

“S.W.A.T. has aired for six seasons on CBS and garnered a devoted following. We are pleased that we found a way to bring it back and give closure to the show’s storylines and characters, which audiences deserve,” their statement continued.

“Once again, we appreciate the talents and efforts of the cast, writers, producers and crew and everyone who has contributed to the success ofSWAT. We look forward to its return next season,” the statement concluded.

News of the series' initial cancellation came at a shock, especially for Moore, the star of the show.

In an impassioned Instagram video posted on Saturday,Moore explained why he was frustratedthatS.W.A.T.was abruptly ending.

“It makes no sense,” Moore, 52, said. “We’re the best show on Friday night at 8 o’clock for CBS. The last two years we’ve been killing it. We’ve done nothing wrong. We did everything that was asked for.”

“They said we’re cancelled, but guess what? I don’t think we’re done,” Moore continued. “CBS is either gonna wake up and realize they made a mistake. Sony is gonna do their math and realize that this is not the right move.”

“I still have faith thatS.W.A.T.will live to see another day. I don’t know where, I don’t know how,” he added.

Moore then urged everyone to “make somes f—ing noise and let them know that cancelingS.W.A.T.is a f—ing mistake” — which apparently seemed to do the trick.

Executive producer Shawn Ryan toldThe Hollywood Reporterin March that the dynamism of the industry no longer guaranteed a seemingly successful series another season.

“You would never see that situation 15 years ago,” Ryan said, per the outlet. “There’s no reason why the show shouldn’t be picked up other than the economics of the business are changing. CBS and Sony will or will not figure out a way to economically make a season seven work.”
