After first feeling “brushed aside<\/a>” by the announcement of a “S.W.A.T.” spinoff last May, actor David Lim will now be participating in the offshoot.<\/p>\n

Lim, who appeared as Officer Victor Tan in all eight seasons of “S.W.A.T.,” will make a guest appearance in the forthcoming “S.W.A.T. EXILES,” Variety<\/a> reports. He’s expected to reprise his role in the penultimate episode of Season 1, but further details aren’t yet available.<\/p>\n

“S.W.A.T. EXILES” \u2014 which will once again star Shemar Moore as Sgt. Daniel “Hondo”\u00a0Harrelson \u2014 was ordered to series just two days<\/a> after the mothership series wrapped its eight-season run on CBS, and Lim was candid at the time that he felt blindsided by the project’s announcement.<\/p>\n

“I’d be lying if I said the rollout of the new spinoff didn’t sting,” he wrote in an Instagram post<\/a>. “It was tough to see it announced just two days after our finale \u2014 with no mention of the cast who helped build ‘S.W.A.T.’ from day one. After [eight] incredible seasons, it felt like we were brushed aside when there could’ve been a moment of reflection and recognition \u2014 for the people who built this show, and for the impact it had on so many.”<\/p>\n

But Lim won’t be the only “S.W.A.T.” veteran popping up on “EXILES”: Jay Harrington (who played Sgt. David “Deacon” Kay, and was similarly blindsided by the spinoff, he told TVLine exclusively<\/a>) and\u00a0Patrick St. Esprit (who played\u00a0Commander Robert “Bob” Hicks) will both guest-star in the pilot episode.<\/p>\n

“After a high-profile mission goes sideways, Daniel ‘Hondo’ Harrelson is pulled out of forced retirement to lead a last-chance experimental S.W.A.T. unit made up of untested, unpredictable young recruits,” the official “EXILES” logline reads. “Hondo must bridge a generational divide, navigate clashing personalities, and turn a squad of outsiders into a team capable of protecting the city and saving the program that made him who he is.”<\/p>\n

“S.W.A.T. EXILES” does not yet have a Stateside home or premiere timetable. How do you feel about Officer Victor Tan returning to the “S.W.A.T.” universe? Tell us below.<\/p>\n
