Alex Russell’s been portraying Jim Street on CBS’ SWAT since the show’s inception in 2017. It also marked his TV debut. His character has had many intense moments, from a long undercover mission, to a potential romance with another officer, Christina “Chris” Alonso (Lina Esco).

Fans have been wondering if the two (ship name Stris) will ever become more than friends. Thankfully, the show’s been renewed for season 6 according to Deadline, and that’s ahead of the season 5 finale, so maybe they’ll get some answers soon.

Speaking of which, the episode description reads: “When control of a university chemistry lab is seized, the SWAT team races to thwart a devastating terror attack.” The season 5 finale is called “Farewell” and will air at 10 PM, ET/PT on Sunday, May 22 on CBS. You can also stream it on Paramount+. Be sure you’re following Alex Russell on Instagram and Twitter to keep up with SWAT and his everyday life.
