SWAT Season 8 Update: Hondo’s Wife Nichelle to Appear Despite New Role; All We Know So Far

As a die-hard SWAT fan with seasons under my belt that could rival a seasoned horse’s, I must say, the upcoming eighth season has me more excited than ever! Though Rochelle Aytes, our beloved Nichelle Carmichael, won’t be a series regular, her presence will still grace our screens.


As a devoted fan of the SWAT series, I am thrilled to share my excitement about its eighth season this fall! Over the years, I’ve grown attached to the characters, particularly Sergeant Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson and his dedicated team. The anticipation for what’s next in their adventures is palpable among fans like myself.

Nichelle Aytes is now part of a new CBS drama series. However, this doesn’t mean she’ll be a main cast member during the upcoming season. Instead, her character will still feature in the storyline, making occasional appearances to keep her storyline progressing. Here’s what we know about Nichelle’s role for the upcoming season.

Nichelle Carmichael’s future in SWAT

Rochelle Aytes has portrayed Nichelle Carmichael since the third season and has become a significant character on the show, appearing in more than 40 episodes. However, she will not reprise her role as a main cast member in SWAT’s eighth season. Instead, Aytes has taken on a new role in the CBS drama Watson, which implies that she won’t be a regular presence in every episode of SWAT.

With this change, fans can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that Aytes is set to feature in SWAT Season 8. Her character is expected to appear in the initial episodes starting from its return on October 18. As reported by TVLine, Hondo and Nichelle will remain a happily married couple when the series resumes. This implies that while Aytes may not be a permanent cast member, her role will continue to impact the storyline.

Nichelle and Hondo’s relationship

Ever since Nichelle and Hondo started dating, their relationship has played a significant role in SWAT. When Nichelle initially appeared on the scene, she was presented as a community worker and potential love interest for Hondo. Throughout their time together, they’ve faced both love and adversity. From day one of their romance, fans have been eagerly supporting them.

In the fifth season, there was a significant development when Nichelle got pregnant. Their daughter, Vivian, arrived in Season 6. By the time we reached Season 7, they were officially married. It’s worth noting that Nichelle’s character is crucial not just because she is Hondo’s wife but also due to her role as a police performance auditor.

What to expect in Watson

In Watson Aytes, the character portrayed by her is Dr. Mary Morstan, a skilled surgeon and hospital’s medical director. She previously was married to Dr. Watson, adding depth to her role. The narrative unfolds with Dr. Watson, played by Morris Chestnut, returning to his medical profession following Sherlock Holmes’ demise.

As your trusted guide on all things lifestyle, let me share an exciting update: I’ll be following along as Watson navigates his journey, tackling life’s hurdles along the way. One of these obstacles is none other than Moriarty, a character who continues to play a significant role in this narrative. This new series promises to deliver a refreshing take on the beloved figures from the Sherlock Holmes universe, keeping their legacy alive while adding a touch of modern intrigue.

More farewells in SWAT

Season 8 of SWAT is set to debut on October 18, featuring a complete run of 22 episodes. Previously concluded characters such as Jim Street (played by Alex Russell), Dominique Luca (Kenny Johnson), and David Deacon Kay (Jay Harrington) were given satisfying conclusions in Season 7.

Over the last couple of years, SWAT experienced its fair share of highs and lows. Following Season 6, the series was unfortunately taken off the air, but due to the dedicated fanbase, it made a comeback. They voiced their support on social media platforms and contacted CBS directly. Their persistence didn’t go unheard; CBS chose to revive the show. Initially, they granted a Season 7 renewal, later extending it to an entire season.
