In addition, Annie Ilonzeh will play a recurring role in the new season, namely that of Devin Gamble.
Inspired by the television series and feature film, SWAT follows former Marine and locally born and raised SWAT Sergeant Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson (Shemar Moore) as he is tasked with leading a specialized tactical unit that is the last stop on law enforcement in Los Angeles. Torn between loyalty to where he grew up and loyalty to his brothers in blue, Hondo strives to bridge the gap between his two worlds.
Born into an LA family steeped in crime, Gamble was driven by a fierce determination to break free from her bloody legacy. She thought she had accomplished this by becoming a standout as an LAPD rookie… until her father's arrest for a heinous crime cast a shadow. The only way for Gamble to escape was to leave LA for the Oakland PD.
