Meet the newest member of SEAL Team.
Beau Knapp will join David Boreanaz and company in the seventh and final season of the Paramount+ military drama, EW has learned. The season is slated to premiere in 2024. According to Deadline Hollywood, which first reported the news, Knapp will play Senior Chief Petty Officer Drew Franklin, a cunning charmer with a checkered past.
The actor is best known for his roles in the Netflix limited series Seven Seconds and as the villain in 2018’s Death Wish alongside Bruce Willis. He first appeared on television in a 2013 episode of Bones, which also starred Boreanaz. Knapp’s other credits include The Nice Guys, Super 8, Southpaw, and The Lost Symbol.
Knapp will next be seen on the big screen in Jeff Nichols’ The Bikeriders, alongside Austin Butler, Tom Hardy, and Jodie Comer. The film was recently given a June 2024 release date after changing distributors. Knapp will also appear in Doug Liman’s Road House remake, starring Jake Gyllenhaal.
Last month, Paramount announced that season 7 would be the final season of SEAL Team. “For six seasons, I have been so lucky and blessed to be a part of such an incredible cast and crew,” Boreanaz said in a statement. “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 7 and the opportunity to end this series with love and gratitude.”
