Friday nights are usually all about CBS’s lineup of dramas. That’s not the case this Friday, Nov. 29. There isn’t a new episode of SWAT or the rest of the dramas.

To be honest, the break tonight makes a lot of sense. It’s Black Friday. People could still be out shopping the latest deals, or they may be spending time with family this weekend as they get some extra time off. Then there are others who simply want to relax after the Thanksgiving stress!

CBS and a lot of other networks opt to take a break the Friday after Thanksgiving from the regular schedule. The good news is that there are still episodes of SWAT to come in 2024.

What’s on instead of SWAT tonight?

We usually get a rerun when there’s nothing special going on, but that’s not the case tonight. Instead, CBS is dedicating tonight to Blue Bloods.

We’ll kick off the night with a rerun of Blue Bloods season 14, episode 11. Then there is a special to celebrate the 293 episodes of the series, which comes to an end in a couple of weeks. After that is another rerun, this time of season 14, episode 12.

When will SWAT return with new episodes?

The good news is there isn’t too long to wait for new episodes of SWAT. The series will return on Friday, Dec. 6 at 8 p.m. ET/PT. There’s a whole night of new drama on the network.

20-Squad will need to investigate a potential honor killing after two students are attacked. This is a socially important topic to cover, as this is a problem around the world.

We also get a personal storyline for Hondo. Rochelle Aytes will appear in the episode to give us some Hondo and Nichelle time. They will face their first parenting disagreement, which is a huge step for parents. While many parents tend to be on the same page in a lot of instances, there are times that different upbringings and life experiences lead to different choices in parenting.

We were promised that there wouldn’t be any personal drama for Hondo this year. We took that as meaning Hondo and Nichelle would work out their disagreements, so it’s going to be fun to see how this plays out in the episode.

"When two students are brutally attacked, 20-Squad contends with a possible honor killing. Meanwhile, Hondo and Nichelle have their first parenting dispute while searching for a suitable daycare."

SWAT returns on Friday, Dec. 6 at 8/7c on CBS. Catch up the following day on Paramount+.
