In a recent update, it was revealed that the S.W.A.T. series finale will feel like "business as usual."

The 2017 action-drama S.W.A.T. has been canceled for the third and possibly final time. With the series finale just a few weeks away, TVLine, unfortunately, confirms that former cast members will not be making a return for the series send-off. Fans asked if viewers could expect the return of former characters such as Jim Street (Alex Russell), Christina Alonso (Lina Esco), and Dominique Luca (Kenny Johnson), specifically about the possibility of aStreet-Chris wedding. TVLine responded that, per the series finale synopsis, "it will be business as usual for 20-Squad."

The second episode of the two episodes making up the season finale is set to air on May 16th. S.W.A.T. showrunner Andrew Dettmann corroborated this in a statement, saying, "Even if we're no longer airing each week, we want the viewers to feel that...

Prior to his work on the hit 1989 sitcom "Seinfeld," comedian and actor Michael Richards might have been best-known for his amazing performance in the same year's cult comedy "Uhf," playing the hapless, heroic janitor Stanley Spadowski. Others may also recognize him for playing a violent murderer in "Problem Child," or the slapstick butler Fejos in "Transylvania 6-5000." Of course, those who were watching the ABC stand-up series "Fridays" back in 1980, would already have known Richards for his comedy. By the time "Seinfeld" appeared in his path, Richards was already an experienced performer. 

"Seinfeld," of course, made Richards a millionaire and a household name. Playing the role of Cosmo Kramer netted him three Emmys, and it led to high-profile roles in studio comedy films like "Airheads," and "Trial and Error." He would remain popular until an infamous 2006 incident at the Laugh Factory in Hollywood, California, wherein he aggressively berated hecklers with racial epithets.

S.W.A.T. original cast member Stephanie Sigman has confirmed her departure from the CBS series, with the show’s exec producer and writer Shawn Ryan subsequently tweeting his well wishes to the actress.

Speculation about Sigman’s exit was prompted with this week’s Season 3 Oct. 2 premiere, when the actress’ Capt. Cortez character was off screen.

Yesterday, Sigman confirmed her departure with posts on her social media accounts. “The word is out!,” she wrote. “Jessica Cortez is on to new adventures! And so am I!” Sigman indicated that she was happy with her work on the series “for the past 2 seasons (45 episodes),” and “thankful & proud of the strength this character gifted me…” and wished the show and her “Swat family the best moving forward…”

Murphy then posted his own comments on the exit, thanking Sigman “for her tremendous work on S.W.A.T. It was a pleasure to write for her & see what...

S.W.A.T. is saying goodbye to an original series regular.

"And so am I. Happy with the work done for the past 2 seasons (45 episodes).

She continued: "Thankful & proud of the strength this character gifted me throughout the intense learning experience it was playing Captain Cortez."

"Wishing the show & Swat Family the best moving forward @swatcbs @sptv."

Disney Channel has greenlighted The A Girl, a single-camera comedy pilot about a teenage girl on the autism spectrum. It comes from Brenda Hampton, creator of the very successful teen dramas 7th Heaven and The Secret Life of the American Teenager. She had three consultants in writing the script: Autism Speaks, The Miracle Project and Hollywood, Health and Society.

Cast as the lead is 17-year-old Stacy Wiener, in her first acting job. Also starring are Dora Dolphin, Australian actor Cameron Caulfield, Faly Rakotohavan, Noah Ziggy James and Amy Farrington. Steven K. Tsuchida is directing.

The A Girl follows the unlikely friendship between two girls who are forced together in a new “Friends Program” in their middle school: Daisy (Dolphin), the Queen Bee, who isn’t used to being told the truth, and Zoe (Wiener), a girl on the autism spectrum who would rather fly solo, and who can’t help do anything but that.

Their popularity soars so they decide to go along with it. Karma attracts the attention of a handsome boy (Gregg Sulkin) while Amy starts to develop feelings for her friend. Others in the cast include Bailey De Young, Michael J. Willett, Courtney Kato, Rebecca McFarland, Senta Moses, Erick Lopez, Amy Farrington, and Breezy Eslin.
