‘S.W.A.T. Exiles’ Episode 8 Release Date, Time, Where to Watch and Preview
The Shemar Moore led spinoff moves toward its eighth episode, titled “The Vault,” which is listed for Friday, November 13 on Starz. The series follows Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson as he builds a new tactical unit from young and unproven officers. Viewers tracking the weekly rollout want to know exactly when the next chapter lands and how to see it.
This guide covers the ‘S.W.A.T. Exiles’ release schedule, the streaming time listed by different outlets, the platforms carrying the show, and what is publicly known about the upcoming installment. Some details vary from one source to another, so the differences are noted where they matter.
‘S.W.A.T. Exiles’ Release Date for the Next Episode
Schedules from High On Films place “The Vault” on November 13, one week after the seventh episode arrives on November 6. That puts the new episode on a Friday, which matches the weekly rhythm the show has followed since its debut.
The first season has ten episodes, with a new one arriving every Friday through November 27. That leaves the eighth episode with two more installments behind it before the season concludes. Anyone planning a weekly viewing habit can mark the next three Fridays on the calendar.
Wikipedia lists “The Vault” with a director and writer credit, but it places the episode a week later, on November 20. Most episode guides and trackers disagree with that placement, so the November 13 date appears to be the more widely reported one. Viewers who want certainty should check the Starz app listing closer to the day.
Streaming Time for ‘S.W.A.T. Exiles’ on Friday Night
High On Films lists every episode of the season at 10 p.m. ET/PT, including “The Vault.” That is the same slot reported for the series premiere, which suggests a consistent weekly schedule.
The Streamable, however, reports that the premiere became available on the Starz streaming service at 12:01 a.m. ET on its premiere date. That would mean subscribers watching on demand could see new episodes just after midnight on the Friday in question. Another tracker, TV Docket, says the time for this episode has not been announced.
Because the sources do not agree, readers on the West Coast or in other time zones should confirm the exact release window inside the Starz app. Checking a few hours before Friday evening is the safest approach.
Where to Watch ‘S.W.A.T. Exiles’ in the US and Abroad
In the United States, the series airs exclusively on Starz, and it is available through the Starz streaming service and the Starz channel for subscribers. That marks a change from the original program, which ran on CBS.
The show is also listed on Prime Video as a Starz title, so viewers who add the Starz channel through Prime Video can watch it there. For households already subscribed through Amazon, that route avoids a separate app login.
Sony Pictures Television has announced international deals that include Sky in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, Stan in Australia, and Bell Media and Quebecor Content in Canada. Release dates and platforms vary by country, and the German premiere on Sky began on October 9.
MovieWeb, citing Variety, reports that Sony plans to stagger the show’s release in the United States, with other platforms such as Netflix expected to follow. The original series itself ended its eight season run in 2025.
Preview of ‘The Vault’ and What Is Known So Far
TVmaze states that it does not yet have an episode summary for “The Vault.” No official synopsis or promotional description appeared in the sources reviewed for this article. Any plot speculation at this stage would be guesswork.
Wikipedia credits the episode to director Denzell Dandridge and writer Jen Graham Imada. Those credits offer the only concrete production detail currently listed for the installment. Fans who follow behind the scenes talent may find that useful context.
What can be said is how the story arrived at this point. Hondo is pulled out of forced retirement after a mission goes wrong and is asked to build an experimental unit from talented but unpredictable recruits. The sixth episode saw Jude go undercover for the FBI inside a white supremacist crew he once belonged to, which left the other Exiles questioning what he did to survive and whether he can still be trusted.
The series has already been renewed for a second season, and Moore announced it in August. That gives the current run some breathing room to build its tensions, and with the squad’s trust in Jude still open, do you expect “The Vault” to repair that bond or strain it further for Hondo’s unit?
