The last time we saw Bravo certainly left the future of the team in question for this Paramount+ drama.
The military drama premiered in 2017 and aired for four full seasons on CBS before moving to the streaming service for five episodes in its fifth season. Since then, SEAL Team has been a Paramount+ original. The sixth season aired its final episode in November 2022 and ended on quite a cliffhanger.
Will the show be back for more? What about the February 2022 announcement? Read on for everything we know about the future of SEAL Team.
Where Did SEAL Team Season 6 End?
Upon returning home from deployment—having missed Clay’s (Max Thieriot, now in Fire Country) funeral—Jason (David Boreanaz) was awarded and accepted the Navy Cross—and used the opportunity to speak publicly about his TBI and his fallen friend’s work to change the military’s perception of them. Then, when he was confronted by his command for his actions at the end of the final episode, he was joined by Ray (Neil Brown Jr.), the rest of Bravo, and other SEALs who spoke out about their own struggles.
Will there be a Season 7?
Yes! Paramount+ renewed the series for a seventh season in January 2023. Then, in November 2023, the streaming service announced that the series would end with the upcoming seventh season.
“It has been an honor to tell stories over seven seasons that celebrate the courage and heroism of all who serve our country,” executive producers Spencer Hudnut and Christopher Chulack said at the time. “We are incredibly grateful to our incredibly talented cast, writers, directors, and crew, especially the hundreds of veterans who have worked on this show. We want to thank CBS Studios, Paramount+, and CBS for their partnership and support over the years, and we sincerely thank the fans who have joined Bravo Team week after week and season after season. While we look forward to being able to continue to highlight areas where we can do better for our service members even after season seven concludes, we hope that the SEAL Team community will continue to fight to protect those who protect us.”
Boreanaz, who also serves as an executive producer, added: “For six seasons, I have been so lucky and blessed to be a part of such an incredible cast and crew. Every day is a thank you to the men and women of the military and Special Forces. I am thankful for our fans and proud that we were able to make this show shine a light in the darkness toward so much suffering today. I look forward to season seven and the opportunity to end this series with love and gratitude.”
Who will be returning for the final season of SEAL Team?
In addition to David Boreanaz, Neil Brown Jr., AJ Buckley, Toni Trucks, and Raffi Barsoumian are also returning.
Who will be joining the cast?
There will be at least two new characters, both of whom appear to be involved in the Season 6 finale.
According to Deadline, Beau Knapp has been added as a permanent cast member. He will play Master Sergeant Drew Franklin, whose troubled past as a commander and his inclusion in Bravo Team is a sign of his status as a favorite of the DEVGRU powers. Drew is a smooth talker who exploits every angle to his advantage and delights in the mystery and gossip surrounding him.
Deadline also reports that Dylan Walsh will return as Captain Walch, who has just been appointed Commander of DEVGRU. He is serious but also politically minded and may be clouded by his own ambition when deciding what to do with Bravo Team.
What will season 7 be about?
This military drama follows the lives of the Navy SEALs’ most elite unit as they undertake dangerous, high-stakes operations to protect the country at great cost.
n the final season, Paramount+ shares, “Jason Hayes (Boreanaz) struggles to balance his warrior’s existence with the responsibilities of single fatherhood. Ray Perry (Brown Jr.), his trusted second in command, questions whether he will be able to leave the battlefield behind as his retirement nears. Dedicated door-kicker Sonny Quinn (Buckley) battles against changing tides as Jason and Ray’s shifting focus means that other teammates must shoulder more responsibility.
Both Omar Hamza (Barsoumian) and Drew Franklin (Knapp) find diving into work an effective way to distance themselves from their past traumas. Vital to mission success is Lieutenant Lisa Davis (Trucks), a no-nonsense officer who ushers the team into a new era of warfare against powerful rivals for supremacy on the world stage. Ripped away from their loved ones at a moment’s notice to be deployed across the globe, Bravo team remains dedicated to their duties. Even in the face of overwhelming odds, they know this is the price to keep the families they left behind safe.”
When Will Season 7 Premiere?
The final season will premiere on Sunday, August 11, with two episodes. The rest of the 10-episode season will drop weekly on Sundays.
Is There a SEAL Team Season 7 Trailer?
Yes, and you can watch it above. The trailer not only offers a look at the state of Bravo in Season 7 and introduces the newest member in Drew, but it also teases just what “the next era of warfare” in a look at the team’s last ride.
What’s Going on With the SEAL Team Movie?
In February 2022, Paramount+ announced plans for a stand-alone SEAL Team movie, from the series creative team of Boreanaz, Chulack, and Hudnut. That will no longer be happening.
