Who is joining SEAL Team in Season 7?

Two new characters have been added to the season: Beau Knapp will join as Chief Special Warfare Operator Drew Franklin, a Chief Petty Officer with a checkered history at Command whose placement on Bravo Team is a sign of their problem-child status in the eyes of the DEVGRU powers that be. Franklin is a smooth talker who exploits every angle to his own advantage.

Then, Dylan Walsh will play Captain Walch. Recently appointed Commanding Officer of DEVGRU, Captain Walch is by the book but also politically-minded and may be clouded by his ambitions as he decides what to do with Bravo Team.

Who is leaving SEAL Team in Season 7?

Max Thieriot's Clay Spenser was killed off in the final epsiodes of season 6 at Ray's veteran center to allow Theriot to star in CBS’ Fire Country.

Clay saved Ben (Joey Pollari) when he was going to commit suicide. While Clay was talking Ben out of taking his own life, a security guard mistakenly shot Clay and killed him.

SEAL Team Showrunner Spencer Hudnut told TV Line, “Yes, it is shocking and it’s horrible and it’s an accident, but it was really important to me that Clay, in my mind, died a hero. He saves Ben from making a horrible decision, he saves Ben from taking his own life, and he comes full circle from the Swanny storyline in Season 2, but here he’s able to succeed.”

Are there any spoilers for SEAL Team in Season 7?

If the trailer is any indication, Bravo team is a mess. We saw in the Season 6 finale how Jason revealed he had a TBI, and so he wouldn’t be removed as team leader, the rest of Bravo and several more Navy SEALs also came forward with their various diagnosis. Ray revealed his PTS and the other operators shared their non-stop headaches, tinnitus, insomnia and memory lapses to name a few.

All that aside, in Season 7, Bravo is sent on a dangerous new mission.

The synopsis reads: “At a moment’s notice, Bravo Team is ripped from their families and deployed across the globe to help the United States compete against foreign superpowers. As the military landscape shifts, personal lives, teammates and priorities change too, setting the stage for an emotional ending. Don’t miss Bravo Team’s dramatic farewell.”

What happened at the end of SEAL Team in Season 6?

Bravo Team once again proved they are truly a band of brothers when their exfil plan was downed by a rocket and they were stranded, But Jason, Ray, Jay, Omar, Sonny and Trent came up with a Plan B and they finally made it safely out.

As a result, though, they missed Clay’s funeral, so they all met at his headstone, where Ray filled in everyone on the circumstances surrounding Clay’s untimely death at the veteran’s center, which at the end of the show was named after him.

Then there was a gathering at Bulkhead, which included Clay’s father Ash, who gave Jason a hard time about being presented with a medal for saving Clay’s life in Mali, for him to lose it back in the U.S. Jason agrees with Ash. (Thomas Howell).

The next day was Jason’s Navy Cross ceremony. Clay’s wife Stella (Alona Tal) reassured Jason that she was fine with him being awarded the medal. If he hadn’t saved Clay’s life in Mali, they would have had even less time together.

But Jason took the opportunity to come clean about his health – his TBI, which led to him being summoned to a meeting where he was told he was done. But that’s when Sonny and Ray many more Navy SEALs arrived to share their own ailments.

What is the status of the SEAL Team movie?

Boreanaz told Variety a movie version is still a possibility even though the series got picked up for its seventh season, which seemed to put the kibosh on it according to Paramount executives.

“As far as the film is concerned, I still feel as though a film can be easily achievable over some time,” Boreanaz said. “Given how we shoot the show, and the locations and being fortunate to go to certain places around the world, and take the show, and tell these stories, and these guys’ drive, [this story] can be picked up at any time. So, without giving away any kind of end to the evolution of the series and where it is, it’s something that is open ended and I wouldn’t say dead.”
