* WordOfStPaul:
** A Website/{{Reddit}} user named "[[https://www.reddit.com/user/SWATWriter/ u/SWATWriter]]" posted a number of behind the scenes details regarding the production of the show on the [=r/swattv=] subreddit.
*** The Season 2 finale was originally intended to be two episodes, but the series order was cut by an episode; the resulting finale was both episodes mashed together.
*** Deacon's call sign of 30-David was a mistake, but the show had already locked that detail in place by the time it was picked up on.
*** Annie chastising Chris for telling Lila about her [[{{Polyamory}} polyamorous relationship]] late in Season 2 was inspired real life conversations[=/=]confrontations that members of the writing team had in their personal lives.
*** 21-David and 23-David don't exist within the canon of the show, as they were retired in real life by LAPD SWAT after the officers holding those call signs died in the line of duty.

** Creator/StephanieSigman is bilingual in English/Spanish, which she uses in the episode "Los Huesos". The same goes for Creator/LinaEsco, who also speaks in Spanish frequently on the show. Both are also Latinas of course like Jessica Cortez and Chris Alonso. Additionally, Esco is a rape survivor like Chris, as she revealed once.

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Despite strong ratings, the show was canceled due to [[https://deadline.com/2023/05/swat-canceled-cbs-6-seasons-reasons-no-season-7-1235357982/ a contract dispute]] between CBS and Creator/SonyPicturesTelevision, the lead studio that produced it. In short, CBS wanted to keep renewing the show at a flat license fee, and Sony was not willing to budge, as that would mean squeezing the show's rising budget further. Three days later, CBS reversed course due to strong backlash, including from Creator/ShemarMoore.
