SEAL Team: Everything We Know About the Final Season
What all do we know about SEAL Team‘s very final easy days?
SEAL Team premiered on CBS in September 2017, with an original cast that included David Boreanaz, Neil Brown Jr., AJ Buckley, Toni Trucks, future Fire Country star/co-creator Max Thieriot, Jessica Paré and Judd Lormand.
Upon being renewed for Season 5, the series was shuttled over, midseason, to CBS’ streaming sister, Paramount+. SEAL Team was renewed for Season 7 in January 2023, and 10 months later it was announced that would mark the military drama’s final mission.
“It has been a privilege to tell stories over seven seasons that honor the bravery and heroism of all who serve our country,” executive producers Spencer Hudnut and Christopher Chulack said in a statement. “We are deeply grateful to our amazing group of actors, writers, directors and talented crew, especially the hundreds of veterans who have worked on this show.
“While we wish we could continue to shine a spotlight on areas where we can do better for our service members even after Season 7 comes to an end,” the EPs added, “it is our hope that the collective SEAL Team community will stay in the fight when it comes to protect our protectors.”
Now that SEAL Team has wrapped filming on its swan song, here is what we know so far about Bravo’s final deployment….
Fresh off his run as Superman & Lois’ General Sam Lane, TV vet Dylan Walsh will stay in uniform and recur on SEAL Team as Captain Walch. “Recently appointed Commanding Officer of DEVGRU, Captain Walch is by the book,” reads the character description, “but he’s also politically-minded and may be clouded by his ambitions as he decides what to do with Bravo Team” in the wake of the Season 6 finale.
Additionally, Beau Knapp (The Lost Symbol) will fill the series regular role of Drew Franklin, a Chief Petty Officer with a checked history whose assignment to Bravo Team is indicative of their “problem child status” in the eyes of higher-ups.
Production on SEAL Team Season 7 began in early December 2023, and wrapped this May.
Series lead/EP David Boreanaz reported let slip on social media an “August” window for the drama’s final season premiere, but that was quickly retracted — and nothing has been officially announced (as of June 2024).
In February 2022, at the same time that NCIS: Sydney was first put into development, it was also announced that Paramount+ was looking to deploy a standalone SEAL Team movie. Aiming to “expand the storytelling universe” for the military drama, the standalone movie was to come from the Paramount+ series’ creative team of star/executive producer Boreanaz, executive producer Christopher Chulack and showrunner Spencer Hudnut.
But in November 2023, when it was announced that SEAL Team would be decommissioned after Season 7, TVLine confirmed that the standalone movie had quietly been shelved.
