The last we saw of Bravo certainly left the team’s future in question for this Paramount+ drama.

The military drama premiered in 2017 and aired four full seasons on CBS before moving, five episodes into the fifth, over to the streaming service. Since then, SEAL Team has been a Paramount+ original. The sixth season aired its finale in November 2022 and ended on quite a cliffhanger.

Will the show be back for more? What about that movie that was announced in February 2022? Read on for everything we know about the future of SEAL Team.

Where Did SEAL Team Season 6 Leave Off?

Upon returning home from deployment—having missed Clay’s (Max Thieriot, now on Fire Country) funeral, Jason (David Boreanaz) was given and accepted the Navy Cross—and used the opportunity to speak publicly about his TBI and his fallen friend’s work to change the military’s views on them. Then, when he had to face command for his actions at the end of the finale, he was joined by Ray (Neil Brown Jr.), the rest of Bravo, and other SEALs who spoke up about their own struggles.

Will There Be a Season 7?

Yes! Paramount+ renewed the series for a seventh season in January 2023. Then, in November 2023, the streaming service announced that it will be ending with that upcoming seventh season.

“It has been a privilege to tell stories over seven seasons that honor the bravery and heroism of all who serve our country,” said executive producers Spencer Hudnut and Christopher Chulack at the time. “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. We’d like to thank CBS Studios, Paramount +, and CBS for their partnership and support over the years, and we offer heartfelt gratitude to the fans who joined Bravo Team week after week and season after season. While we wish we could continue to shine a spotlight on areas where we can do better for our service members even after season seven comes to an end, it is our hope that the collective SEAL Team community will stay in the fight when it comes to protecting our protectors.”

Added Boreanaz, also an executive producer, “For six seasons I have been fortunate and blessed to be a part of an outstanding cast and crew. Every day spent was a note of thanks to our men and women in the military and Special OPS. I thank our fans, and I’m proud we were able to make this show to shine light in the darkness toward so many suffering today. I look forward to season seven and the opportunity to end this series with love and gratitude.”

'SEAL Team': 8 Burning Questions for Season 7

Who’s Returning for SEAL Team‘s Final Season?

In addition to David Boreanaz, returning are Neil Brown Jr., AJ Buckley, Toni Trucks, and Raffi Barsoumian.

Who’s Joining the Cast?

There will be at least two new characters, both of whom sound connected to the end of Season 6.

Beau Knapp has been added as a series regular, according to Deadline. He will star as Chief Petty Officer Drew Franklin, who has a checkered history at Command and whose placement on Bravo Team is a sign of their problem-child status in the eyes of the DEVGRU powers that be. Drew is a smooth talker who exploits every angle to his own advantage and revels in the mystery and rumors that surround him.

Deadline also reports that Dylan Walsh will recur as Captain Walch, who was recently appointed Commanding Officer of DEVGRU. He is by the book but also politically-minded and may be clouded by his ambitions as he decides what to do with Bravo Team.

What Will Season 7 Be About?

The military drama follows the lives of the Navy SEALs’ most elite unit as they execute dangerous high-stakes operations to defend their country at a deeply personal cost.

In the final season, Paramount+ shares, “Jason Hayes (Boreanaz) struggles to balance his warrior’s existence with the responsibilities of single fatherhood. Ray Perry (Brown Jr.), his trusted second in command, questions whether he will be able to leave the battlefield behind as his retirement nears. Dedicated door-kicker Sonny Quinn (Buckley) battles against changing tides as Jason and Ray’s shifting focus means that other teammates must shoulder more responsibility. Both Omar Hamza (Barsoumian) and Drew Franklin (Knapp) find diving into work an effective way to distance themselves from their past traumas. Vital to mission success is Lieutenant Lisa Davis (Trucks), a no-nonsense officer who ushers the team into a new era of warfare against powerful rivals for supremacy on the world stage. Ripped away from their loved ones at a moment’s notice to be deployed across the globe, Bravo team remains dedicated to their duties. Even in the face of overwhelming odds, they know this is the price to keep the families they left behind safe.”

When Will Season 7 Premiere?

The final season will premiere on Sunday, August 11, with two episodes. The rest of the 10-episode season will drop weekly on Sundays.

Is There a SEAL Team Season 7 Trailer?

Yes, and you can watch it above. The trailer not only offers a look at the state of Bravo in Season 7 and introduces the newest member in Drew, but it also teases just what “the next era of warfare” in a look at the team’s last ride.

What’s Going on With the SEAL Team Movie?

In February 2022, Paramount+ announced plans for a stand-alone SEAL Team movie, from the series creative team of Boreanaz, Chulack, and Hudnut. That will no longer be happening.
