Get ready to lock and load, because one of the most intense military dramas of the past decade is heading to Netflix. SEAL Team, the gritty series starring David Boreanaz, will begin streaming on the platform on August 18, 2026. The move comes as part of a broader licensing agreement between Paramount Global and Netflix, bringing the show to a massive new audience after years on CBS and Paramount+.
Created by Benjamin Cavell, SEAL Team follows Bravo Team, an elite unit of Navy SEALs tasked with planning and executing dangerous clandestine missions around the globe. But the show isn't just about high-octane action—it also dives deep into the personal toll these operations take on the operators and their families. That blend of battlefield intensity and home-front drama made it a fan favorite across seven seasons.
What's Coming to Netflix?
While the exact number of seasons included in the initial drop hasn't been confirmed, at least two seasons are expected to arrive as part of the licensing deal. The series originally premiered on CBS in 2017 and later moved exclusively to Paramount+ midway through Season 5, allowing for more mature content and graphic details. It concluded with its seventh season in 2024.
This isn't the only Paramount property making the leap. Other shows like Mayor of Kingstown, Matlock, Watson, and The King of Queens are also part of the deal, while Lawmen: Bass Reeves has already proven a hit on Netflix. For SEAL Team, the early seasons are likely to land on Netflix first, with later seasons remaining on Paramount+ to entice viewers to check out the streamer's other offerings.
Who's in the Cast?
David Boreanaz leads the ensemble as Jason Hayes, the battle-hardened commander of Bravo Team. The cast also includes Max Thieriot (now starring in Fire Country) as Clay Spenser, Neil Brown Jr. as Ray Perry, A.J. Buckley as Sonny Quinn, Toni Trucks as Lisa Davis, and Jessica Paré as Mandy Ellis. Their chemistry and commitment to authenticity helped the show earn a loyal following.
