The final season of SEAL Team is upon us, and with it come questions about exactly how all the major storylines will end. Ahead of the Season 7 premiere, star David Boreanaz teased that not all of the stories will have happy endings. But does that mean we can expect a tragic ending for Jason Hayes in the final season of SEAL Team?’
Boreanaz didn’t go so far as to promise that Hayes won’t have a happy ending in SEAL Team Season 7, but he did tell TVLine that “ultimately, he could be taken away by the greatest force, which is death. That’s something we have to consider and want to consider.”
Before that, of course, Hayes will return home in the first few episodes, which is also very different for him. Boreanaz teased. “The ultimate attraction of this arc for these operators is, ‘How do they deal with their murders?’ How does that impact them in a traumatic way both on the mission and at home? So for him to be home in the first few episodes, that’s going to be very traumatic, and that’s something he’s going to have to lean into, to deal with that and let it go and heal himself.”
Of course, the story requires Hayes to return to the battlefield. The show isn’t called SEAL Team for nothing. Of that, Boreanaz says “how he gets back into the field and what happens to him is going to be interesting.”

“Obviously the world is still turning and evil is coming out in a place where these operators are needed, especially Bravo Team. They’re going to be kicking ass in a couple of episodes – you’re going to see some of the training that’s going on as they patiently wait to be brought back, to be put into their unit. And it’s a whole new evolution of warfare that’s going on for them, and they have to adapt or else they’re going to be pushed aside – so it’s going to be a big challenge for them.”
SEAL Team is a Paramount+ military drama series created by Benjamin Cavell.

CBS announced in November 2023 that SEAL Team would end after season 7. The cast includes David Boreanaz, Jessica Paré, Neil Brown Jr., A. J. Buckley, and Toni Trucks, with Max Thieriot previously reprising his role.
