How Will ‘SEAL Team’ End? Everything We Know So Far About the Final Season
The last we saw of Bravo certainly left the future of the team in question for the Paramount+ show.
The military drama premiered in 2017 and aired 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 on 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 extend our heartfelt thanks to the fans who have joined Bravo Team week after week and season after season. While we look forward to continuing to focus on 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 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 to 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’s joining the cast?
There will be at least two new characters, both of whom appear to be tied to the end of Season 6.
According to Deadline, Beau Knapp has been added as a series regular. He’ll play Sergeant Drew Franklin, whose troubled past at HQ and placement in Bravo Team is a sign of their problem child status in the eyes of the DEVGRU powers that be. Drew is a smooth talker who exploits every angle to his advantage and delights in the mysteries and rumors that surround him.
Deadline also reports that Dylan Walsh will reprise his role as Captain Walch, who has just been appointed as the Commander of DEVGRU. He’s by the book but also politically minded and may be clouded by his own ambition as he decides what to do with Bravo Team.
What will Season 7 be about?
This military drama follows the lives of the most elite unit of the Navy SEALs as they undertake dangerous, high-risk operations to protect the country at great personal cost.
In the final season, Paramount+ shares, “Jason Hayes (Boreanaz) struggles to balance his life as a soldier with his responsibilities as a single father. Ray Perry (Brown Jr.), his trusted second-in-command, wonders if he can leave the battlefield as his retirement approaches. Dedicated doorman Sonny Quinn (Buckley) battles the changing tides as Jason and Ray’s shifting focus means other teammates must shoulder more responsibility. Both Omar Hamza (Barsoumian) and Drew Franklin (Knapp) find throwing themselves into their work a useful way to escape past traumas. Key to the mission’s success is Lieutenant Lisa Davis (Trucks), a real-life officer who leads the team into a new era of war against powerful opponents for supremacy on the world stage. Separated from their loved ones in an instant,
