The Big Picture The long-running SEAL Team continues to plow through and defy the odds as this CBS-turned-Paramount+ series awaits its seventh season. Though it might not be one of those shows you've heard a lot about, there's more to this military drama than meets the eye. But in a world full of shows just like it, there has to be something about SEAL Team that makes it stand out among its military-centered contemporaries.
But Hayes' struggle to balance his family life with his duty as a soldier isn't something he bears alone. This is the central conflict of SEAL Team , and proves itself a challenge for each of them. Some characters have pregnant wives at home, others have children or significant others, but all of them feel the conflict within them as they are torn between what they know they've been made to do and the duty they have at home.
Semos occasionally plays John TJ Monero while also serving triple duty as one of the series' most prolific writers alongside fellow veteran Kenny Sheard. Likewise, Grey plays Trent Swayer and has previously directed three episodes of the military drama. But these two aren't the only veterans who are serving active duty on SEAL Team. "We've got a ton of veterans involved, and it's super exciting to see the talent they bring to the table," Owen noted.
This also extends to many of the stunts that the SEAL Team cast and crew undertake across the show's impressive six seasons. "We pride in putting ourselves in the elements and shooting it for real. we’re getting into a Black Hawk and going up—we’re not doing it on a green screen," Boreanaz emphasized heading into Season 6.
