History Pulls the Plug on Navy SEAL Drama ‘Six’ After 2 Seasons
History has pulled the plug on Six, its Navy SEAL drama, after two seasons. The show is currently in its second season, with four of the 10 episodes still on the schedule, which will air as planned. Deadline reports that the cancellation coincides with the cast’s contract renewal. The show was a hit for the network when it debuted in 2017 and was renewed before the first season ended airing. But the second season’s ratings were 50% lower than season 1’s in Live+Same Day data.
The series, from A+E Studios, follows the famed SEAL Team Six as they embark on a mission to take down the terrorist network responsible for the shooting of their former team leader, Richard “Rip” Taggart (Walton Goggins). Season 2 introduces CIA officer Gina Cline (Olivia Munn), who works with a team now led by Joe “Bear” Graves (Barry Sloane) as they head into Eastern Europe, infiltrating hostile territory like Chechnya in an effort to find a jihadist network. Their search takes them dangerously close to the Russian border and could lead to World War III. The series stars Kyle Schmid, Juan Pablo Raba, Edwin Hodge, Jaylen Moore, Brianne Davis, Nadine Velazquez, Eric Ladin and Nikolai Nikolaeff.
Six was created and written by William Broyles and Army Special Operations veteran David Broyles. This puts History’s scripted series ahead of Vikings, Knightfall and Robert Zemeckis’ upcoming Blue Book.
