‘SEAL Team’ Adds Beau Knapp to Cast for 7th and Final Season
The final season of SEAL Team will feature a new Bravo Team member. Beau Knapp has been cast as a lead in the seventh season of the Paramount+ military drama.
Knapp will play Drew Franklin, a high-ranking officer with a checkered past at Command, according to Deadline. Drew’s arrival on Bravo Team makes DEVGRU suspicious of the unit, but the newcomer likes that his reputation precedes him. He’s a smooth talker who exploits every angle possible, taking full advantage of the mystery and rumor that comes with his name.
Knapp is best known for his 2018 Netflix limited series Seven Seconds. He played Mark Sirenko in the 2022 Law & Order crossover event and has also appeared in The Lost Symbol, The Good Lord Bird, LA’s Finest, Mosquito State, Shots Fired, and more. SEAL Team follows the personal and professional lives of an elite, tight-knit unit of Navy SEALs as they train, plan, and execute dangerous, high-risk missions. The series stars David Boreanaz as Jason Hayes, the leader of Bravo Team known as Bravo 1. Other stars include Neil Brown Jr., AJ Buckley, Toni Trucks, and Raffi Barsoumian. Max Thieriot previously played Clay, who was killed off in a shocking death in Season 6 in 2022. Paramount+ announced in November that SEAL Team Season 7 would be their last. The series, which premiered in September 2017, originally aired on CBS for four seasons. It moved to Paramount+ in the middle of Season 5. Older episodes aired on CBS during the cast and writers strike earlier this year. The final season of SEAL Team will premiere in 2024 exclusively on the streaming service. Production is expected to begin in December.
“For six seasons, I have been fortunate and blessed to be a part of an incredible cast and crew,” Boreanaz, who also serves as an executive producer on the series, said in a statement when the final season was announced. “Every day is a thank you to our men and women in the military and Special Forces. I thank our fans and I am 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.”
