David Boreanaz is not one to sit idle. With the seventh and final season of SEAL Team on the horizon—rumored to premiere later this summer—Boreanaz is already mapping out his next move to ensure his remarkable 27-year streak on television continues.
Since his debut as Angel on Buffy the Vampire Slayer in March 1997, Boreanaz has been a constant presence on TV screens. His longest break came during the 16 months between the Angel series finale in May 2004 and the launch of Bones in September 2005. But as SEAL Team prepares to wrap up, Boreanaz isn’t ready to slow down. Speaking at the Monte-Carlo Television Festival, he revealed that he is currently developing a new series, one that he plans to write, produce, and star in.
When pressed for details on this upcoming project, Boreanaz remained tight-lipped but hinted at his current inspirations. “I’m watching a lot of The Sopranos right now,” he shared with a grin, though he quickly clarified that his new project wouldn’t be centered around organized crime. Instead, he teased, “I love suits, I love style, I love cars.”
Boreanaz’s work ethic is nothing short of legendary. Reflecting on his career during SEAL Team’s first season, he explained, “I like work. I was brought up in an Italian family, always working. Whether it was at a farmer’s market, selling Christmas trees, or doing construction in high school, I was always busy. My mentality ticks towards work; I don’t idle very well.”
For Boreanaz, the appeal of work goes beyond acting. “I value being an executive producer, working as a director—it’s a triple threat for me,” he said. “There’s so much more to it than just ‘hitting a mark.’ I pride myself on deconstructing scripts, rewriting dialogue, and bringing ideas to the table that shape the storyline. Whether it’s producing, acting, or directing, I love all of it.”
As fans eagerly await the conclusion of SEAL Team and the reveal of Boreanaz’s next venture, one thing is certain: David Boreanaz is far from done, and his passion for the creative process will keep him on our screens for years to come.
