David Boreanaz Plans to Continue 27-Year TV Series After ‘SEAL Team’ Ends
David Boreanaz is planning to make another show after he finishes filming the final season of SEAL Team.
“I’m watching a lot of The Sopranos right now,” Boreanaz, 55, told Variety while attending the Monte-Carlo Television Festival on Monday, June 17, adding that he’s developing a series as a writer that he could also star in and produce. “I like suits, I like style, I like cars.”
Boreanaz, who has played Jason Hayes on SEAL Team since 2017, went on to explain that he learned that he’s “good at writing dialogue” while developing his new project.
“I’m working on the structure,” he noted. “For me, it’s [a] work in progress. But I like to analyze characters. I like, you know, figure out the story and all that. So creative, yeah. I’m very creative.”
Before his seven-season stint on SEAL Team, he spent 12 seasons on Bones, which he started just 16 months after finishing Angel, the five-season spinoff he hosted after spending three seasons on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Boreanaz has been on TV since 1997, so his fans are anxiously wondering how long he’ll actually be away from the small screen after his latest show wraps.
While Boreanaz has kept details about his new project under wraps, he did share that he’s planning to partner with Paramount+, which also streams SEAL Team.
“Yeah, Paramount+ is a great group of people, and we’ve had conversations from a director’s perspective, from a producer’s perspective, from a showrunner’s perspective,” he explained, noting that “some really good things” are coming. “Obviously, I’m going to be working with Taylor Sheridan. He’s great. But I’m going to be my own Taylor Sheridan.”
After seven seasons on the air, SEAL Team announced in November 2023 that the series would end with season 7. “It’s 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 in a statement at the time. “We’re incredibly grateful to our incredibly talented cast, writers, directors, and crew, especially the hundreds of veterans who worked on this show.”
“While we want to be able to continue to focus on areas where we can do better for our service members even after Season 7 concludes, we hope that the SEAL Team community will continue to fight to protect those who protect us,” they continued.
While a premiere date for Season 7 of the TV series has not yet been set, Boreanaz shared that a follow-up film could “easily be on the cards.”
“With the way we shoot the show, and the locations and being fortunate enough to go to certain places in the world, and make the show, and tell these stories, and the motivations of these people, [this story] could be picked up at any time,” he told Variety on Monday. “So without giving away any endings to the development of the series and where it is, it’s something that’s open-ended and I wouldn’t say dead.”
