Broadcast history

After the success of the movie The Warriors, Hollywood looked to take the youth gang concept and market it to TV. In 1981, Patrick Swayze starred in a TV movie, Return of the Rebels, about an aging motorcycle gang who get together to help a friend who owns a popular campground that is being threatened by a band of arrogant groupies.

Brother team Lawrence and Charles Gordon tried to market Swayze's rebel look, combine the gang concept with a police angle, and came up with The Renegades. Roger Spottiswoode directed the TV movie pilot that premiered on August 11, 1982 and a six-episode series was broadcast in Spring 1983. It had weak ratings and ABC cancelled the show.
