Will ‘SEAL Team’ Return for a Season 5? Max Thieriot Is ‘Optimistic’
Preview
SEAL Team fans aren’t the only ones waiting to hear about the show’s future. So are the stars.
“I have not heard anything. I’m still waiting like everybody else,” Max Thieriot (who plays Clay Spenser) tells TV Insider. “I’m optimistic. I’m hopeful.”
But if the CBS drama doesn’t return for a fifth season, “I think we have a good way of buttoning up a lot of loose ends every season,” the star continues. “Besides I think last season was probably our biggest struggle because we got cut short, but we’re ending where we’re trying to end the season. I think every year we ended a good place.”
As for how Season 4 will end, the April 21 episode, which Thieriot directed, “is really just the kickoff and the catapult launching us into the final four episodes,” he says. “Everybody can expect a lot more drama, some huge life-changing events inside and out of Bravo. And for the last four episodes, they pulled out all the stops for all the cool stuff, all the toys and explosions and helicopters, and all the bells and whistles.”
While SEAL Team fans may be worried about its future, here’s something to keep in mind: The drama wasn’t renewed last year until May 6, the same day as the (early) Season 3 finale. While CBS has renewed quite a few shows already, the David Boreanaz-led series isn’t the only one whose future is up in the air. We’re still waiting for word on All Rise, NCIS: Los Angeles, The Unicorn, B Positive, Clarice, and United States of Al as well.

I've never understood why this show isn't a bigger hit for CBS. It more than hits the right marks for their general audience, but it's never really clicked ratings wise, though it does have great +7 delayed ratings. Would probably do well on Fridays between Magnum and Blue Bloods.

Its an awesome show and is a far cry from some of the sitcoms. It depicts the struggles and life of Seals... who are willing to die to keep others safe. How many people could even fathom that?!?!?! The personalities of the team are so well played out,, I cant wIt for each new episode. Keep this show on the air, please!

Seal team is a great show and should be renewed. Ratings would probably be better if cbs wouldn't run it weekly then skip two weeks all the time. This season has been awful with two weeks between episodes.

This is the best show on TV. I did not discover it until 2020, so I had to play catch up. The writing is great & the actors are so well cast for the parts they play (including Cerebus). I think the show suffers from being up against the Chicago Med/Fire/P.D. trilogy on Wednesday nights. I very much hope CBS renews it. This show is a real gem.

Hollywood, always under estimated the true effects, of combat to sell the story.
But as far as protocol, forget it they don't bother? It's all about the money!!
If they'd follow the ROE the show would fail right out of the box

I cheer on & love our Seal Team every week. I hope it's not cancelled.....but . .
I wonder if other folks have the same issue as I have. It is more often than not...an annoyance that I don't understand what the characters are saying, they seem to be talking very fast and slurring their lines. Consequently, I miss so much of the script.
The military lingo is ok, I get some of it....my son retired
US Navy SAR.
I suspect viewers are frustrated and don't tune in anymore.
PS....Commercials are no problem, I hear them clearly and most other CBS dramas.

Imo #CancelSealTeam it has become nighttime soap opera ish and has become unrealistic. Sure it’s entertainment but being a veteran of the Navy it’s disappointing how the writers are stretching military protocols. It has become boring and ludicrous

Veterans are advisors on the show. Plenty of Veterans want this show to stay and say it’s authentic and real. I guess you don’t care about the Veterans on the show or the stories they tell trying to actively cancel it. You are sad. #renewSEALTeam

This last season was the most suspenseful yet. I didn’t find it soap opera-ish at all. Excellent job, Seal Team!
