SEAL Team Season 7 Reunites With New Star David Boreanaz SEAL Team Season 7 features a secret Bones reunion, with the new cast reacting to reuniting with star David Boreanaz. SEAL Team Season 7, the show’s final season, is happening via weekly releases on Paramount+. The release schedule has given viewers a chance to see the twists and turns of the action drama as it nears its finish line. That includes reuniting Boreanaz with an actor he once directed.
In an interview with TV Insider, Beau Knapp reacts to joining SEAL Team Season 7 and reuniting with Boreanaz, who executive produces the show and stars as Jason Hayes. Knapp plays Drew Franklin, the newest member of the Bravo team, and he spoke candidly about working with Boreanaz again after the Buffy alum directed Knapp in the Bones season 8 finale. Read his full quote below: It was a trip. It was 2013. It was a wild time. Like 2011, I was 21. I had my first child and I was just a young, hungry actor. That’s all I knew how to do. Super 8 was my first job, the J.J. Abrams movies. And then I’m pretty sure Bones was my second job, but it was wild at the beginning because David Boreanaz was directing that finale and so I went into the room and read for David across from him. Just like I did with SEAL Team when I tested with David just sitting across from me.
It was a great experience and I think that was one of the first conversations we had when I walked into the room for SEAL Team testing. David and I started talking about 10 years ago or whatever, 11, 12 years and it’s been so fast, but it’s been great to work together again. But yeah, even then, it was playing a villain. It was fun. I think that was my first experience with television and how different it is from doing a movie. It’s crazy to see that scene. I looked like a kid shooting Bones compared to now. It’s really gratifying.
Knapp appeared in “The Secret in the Siege,” the season 8 finale of Bones. Boreanaz directed the episode, and Stephen Nathan and Jonathan Collier wrote the script. Knapp played Zane Reyonds in the episode, his only appearance, and Reynolds was a suspect in a larger plot involving Christopher Pelant (Andrew Leeds). The episode aired in 2013 when Knapp was in his early 20s.
Over a decade later and having had a positive experience working with Boreanaz before, Knapp joined the cast of SEAL Team as Drew Franklin. The character was a high-ranking officer with a troubled past. His move to Bravo wasn’t exactly a smooth transition, as Drew was a problem child and had a tendency to always seek an advantage for himself.

It’s no secret that SEAL Team has been undergoing a roster shakeup following the departure of Max Thieriot. The team has done a good job of moving forward, thanks to Knapp’s positive history working with Boreanaz. This is a good advantage to have going into the end of the long-running action series.
