SEAL Team star Ray Perry pays tribute to David Boreanaz as he breaks silence on season 7
SEAL Team fans were in a tizzy earlier this week when Paramount+ bosses officially gave Bravo the green light to return with a new mission for a seventh season. Several of the show’s cast and crew took to social media to celebrate the announcement, including Brown Jr., who made sure to credit the key players who helped make the renewal possible.
Brown Jr., like SEAL Team fans around the world, was left in limbo waiting to discover the fate of SEAL Team before the renewal.
After all, season six was renewed just a week after the fifth season ended, meaning the two-month wait for news about season seven felt like a lifetime.
Fans even flooded social media with the hashtag #RenewSEALTeam as eager viewers called on Paramount bosses not to let their beloved series end.
But now that the renewal has arrived, let’s celebrate the news, with Brown Jr. writing on Instagram: “We have some great news to start the new year!
“You guys have no idea how grateful I am to bring you more shows that without your love and support, this show wouldn’t exist!”
Recounting the colleagues who made the renewal possible, star Ray Perry continued: “A huge thank you to showrunner and EP @spencerhudnut for leading the show along with his talented writing team who continue to deliver the good stuff!”
And he even called out showrunner and star Jason Hayes by name, David Boreanaz, writing: “Sending love to the ‘amazing man’, EP and frontman, @imdboreanaz for happily punishing himself for another season.”
His tribute continued: “Thank you #Chrischulack for making it so easy, my humble respect and admiration for the cast and crew (past and present) who put their hearts into every episode, and to @cbstvstudios and @paramountplus.
“THANK YOU for always believing in @sealteam_pplus and what it means to so many!
“I am truly just a poor skinny kid from the American South who can’t believe this is my life, and I thank God that I have the opportunity to be better every day. Happy New Year everyone, see you soon! #happynewyear #testtime #SEALTeam #blessed #military #season7 #grateful,” he concluded.
Boreanaz took to the comments section of the post to return the love his co-stars showered him with.
“Here we go! Love you,” Boreanaz wrote in response to his co-star’s kind words.
Rumors of behind-the-scenes drama have been squashed, but the complications of SEAL Team’s move from CBS to Paramount+ clearly remain.
However, the news of season seven’s confirmation was not accompanied by any announcement regarding the series, which is also in production.
Instead, Tanya Giles, Paramount Streaming’s head of programming, said in a statement: “We look forward to bringing SEAL Team fans even more of the series’ deep storylines and thrilling missions with the upcoming seventh season.
“The series continues to grow and expand its audience. It’s a great example of the types of shows we see our subscribers resonate with.”
With news of the renewal only recently announced, season seven doesn’t yet have a release date.
But with previous series debuting in the late fall and winter, it’s likely that season seven will follow suit.
