Is SWAT new tonight on CBS? Season 5 episode 9 spoilers

Is SWAT new tonight on CBS? Are we going to have a chance to dive more into Hondo’s story soon? We know that we’re reasonably early in this season still and with that in mind, there’s a ton of great stuff coming!

So where should we begin here? We suppose that it’s by sharing some of the bad news. Unfortunately, there is no new episode of the series on the air tonight. This marks the first week in the show’s holiday-related hiatus but all things considered, things could be worse! It’s a reasonably short break in the action, with the plan for now being to get more episodes to us when we get around to Sunday, January 2. That is when the show debuts in its new 10:00 p.m. Eastern timeslot, where presumably it will be for the rest of the season.

Just in case you want to better prepare for that, why not go ahead and look at what’s coming up next? Take a look at the synopses below for more insight…
