Bill Inoshita/Sony Pictures Television/CBS Pope also teased more aboutS.W.A.T. EXILES' premise, calling it "a bit of a take on the culture generation clash of Gen X versus Gen Z." "Where Hondo is all about duty, hierarchy and chain of command, the Gen Zers are a little more like, 'I might need to take a mental health day. I want to talk about it. I want to understand it.' It's kind of our take onTop Gun Maverick." "How do we build bridges around not just generational divides, but all forms of divide? There's a lot of division going on in our world. If we just took some time to listen and to try and be part of a team, and what that really means, it would probably be better for all of us," Pope added. Pope saidEXILEScame together "within weeks" following CBS' cancelation ofS.W.A.T.— which was technicallythe third time the network canceled it. EXILES' first season will feature 10 episodes and Jason Ning is serving as showrunner. He'll executive produce alongside Neal H. Mortiz, Pavun Shetty, James Scura and Moore.
