Shooter is an American drama television series based on the 2007 film of the same name and the first three novels in the Bob Lee Swagger series by Stephen Hunter.[1] The show stars Ryan Phillippe in the lead role of Swagger, a retired United States Marine Corps Scout Sniper from MARSOC living in seclusion who is coaxed back into action after learning of a plot to kill the President.[2] USA Network picked up the pilot in August 2015[3] and ordered the series in February 2016.[4]

The series was originally set to premiere on July 19, 2016, but it was postponed to July 26 due to the July 7 Dallas police officer shootings.[5] USA pulled it entirely after the Baton Rouge police officer shootings on July 17.[6] On October 3, 2016, USA announced that the new premiere date for Shooter would be November 15, 2016.[7] On December 19, 2016, the series was renewed for a second season that premiered on July 18, 2017.[8] On December 4, 2017, the series was renewed for a third season.[9]

On August 15, 2018, USA Network canceled Shooter after three seasons, and its final episode aired on September 13, 2018.[10]
