David Boreanaz Teases What’s Next for Him After ‘SEAL Team’
Now that David Boreanaz has wrapped seven seasons of SEAL Team, what’s next for him? He’s gone from one long-running show to another (and another), with Buffy the Vampire Slayer into Angel, then Bones, then the Paramount+ military drama that aired its series finale in October 2024.
“I don’t sit down and go, ‘That’s going to be the next thing,'” Boreanaz tells TV Insider while discussing how he feels about the end of SEAL Team. “I have some really great fruits of labor that are paying off right now that are going to bring some really nice opportunities for me come the new year. And I don’t sit back and say, ‘Well, this is the next series I’m going to do.'” What he looks at is “it makes sense for me and also the character and what I would like to do.”
He continues, “Obviously I’m in a very different part of my life and my career, and I’m fortunate to be able to be offered some really great things and look at them very wisely in a mature level and take that for what it is.” He points out how much the landscape has changed in the past five years. “I think the ability to take on maybe one or two different types of series would be an interesting feat.”
He couldn’t say much specifically about what might be coming up, including work with different types of producers, including possibly a few he met on SEAL Team. “I have some really great things that I feel as though will fit nicely into my game. But all in all, I can say that, let’s see, 1, 2, 3 are very different types of characters, that’s for sure. Well, one is a little bit more — I can say one is really cool, a passion project. One is a little similar but not in nature and kind of retired in a way, but now gets hired. That’s all I’m going to say. I don’t want to say too much because you know me. It’s like, hey, I live in the now and see what comes my way. I think that people know that about me.”
He’s open to TV, film, and theater, but admits, “I’d probably shy away from a network series these days just because of the time and the amount that’s ordered. It’s just a lot of work.” Still, all in all, “some good things.”

I would like to see him do a revival of Bones like he’s talked about maybe being a murderer at the FBI and he’s called to solve it wanting to know where his wife temperance is and his daughter and his son and just that whole cast was so as he put it lightning in the bottle and they were so great working together they really jelled. I love the show. I watch it every day.

When I'm stressed or having an anxiety episode Bones is my immediate fix. I search everywhere to watch it. I love all the cast. Please do at least one more. Thank you for sharing your valuable talent with us.

Definitely would love more bones. It was one of the best things on tv and I was gutted when it ended. But truly feel there is enough scope with those characters to be able to bring it back after a nearly 10 year break. Please!!!

She even acting anymore? I thought she focused on family after Bones. Doing 12 seasons is alot of work especially on network where they do 20+ episodes rather than 6-10. They also have to drop every season or be left behind while streaming can take as long as they like, well it seems that way and at nearly 60 you'd think he'd have preferred to go that route. I mean the mans been working non stop for around 30 years all network tv. So I'm shocked that he couldn't get rockford files on streaming, in NBC owns the rights they have peacock for streaming. They should have gone that route. I'd prefer a tight 10 episides rather than 20 episides witj half being filler.

Amazing series, but im on the seal team fix right now. Another lightning in the bottle cast imo. Love sonny and clays bromance. Clay could be a pita but he really grew, the entire cast did. Well the ones with more than 2 lines a season like brock,Trent, and heavy metal. Still great series, though Bones is one of my faves as well. In fact I own both series on appletv.

David Bereanaz is one of the finish actors I have ever watched . I have never written any comments regarding actors before (and I'm 80 years old) but he is a truly great actor.

Would love to see him in a rom com movie. Or a show where he’s a con artist but for good (like White Collar). I loved the different Bones’ episodes he went “undercover”. A show that showcases how well he does at mixing goofy, funny, sensitive and totally hot moments - but definitely with some action and serious moments… much like the Booth character. He’s a very versatile actor!

Anything would please me. Like his vibe!
