There’s more work for these Navy SEALs to do in the 2021-22 television season. The SEAL Team TV show has been renewed for a fifth season but is moving from CBS to Paramount+.
SEAL Team stars David Boreanaz, Max Thieriot, Neil Brown Jr., AJ Buckley, and Toni Trucks with Justin Melnick, Tyler Grey, Scott Foxx, and Judd Lormand in recurring roles. The military action-adventure series centers on an exclusive Navy SEAL unit as they train for, plan, and risk their very lives to carry out perilous missions for the sake and honor of their country. Fierce and focused Jason Hayes (Boreanaz) leads the Tier One team. Despite the hardship it causes them and their families, this SEAL team is ready, willing, and able to embark upon secret missions at the drop of a hat. Team members include Jason’s trusted confidant, Ray Perry (Brown Jr.); loyal yet self-destructive Sonny Quinn (Buckley); and young Clay Spenser (Thieriot), a multilingual and second-generation SEAL. Others who are vital to the team’s success are no-nonsense Ensign Lisa Davis (Trucks) and troop commander Lt. Cdr. Eric Blackburn (Lormand).
Airing on Wednesday nights on CBS, the fourth season of SEAL Team averages a 0.48 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 3.95 million viewers in the live+same day ratings. Compared to season three, that’s down by 27% in the demo and down by 20% in viewership.
Though the military drama has a devoted following, it’s one of the lower-rated scripted series on the network. While procedural dramas do very well when sold in International markets, SEAL Team isn’t as popular, reportedly because it focuses on the U.S. military and isn’t as relatable to audiences outside the States. It’s been in danger of being cancelled each year for a while.
The series does very well in streaming so, the fifth season will launch on CBS in the fall but, after four episodes, will then move to Paramount+ as an exclusive. Prior seasons of SEAL Team are already available on the service. According to a comment by Cudlitz, fifth season episodes will be longer.
I guess CBS didn’t get that I only knew their other shows because I was watching CBS.going forward I will go back to Reading.
I love the show…but won’t be watching going forward…this seasons finale is one I can live with…I can’t afford to purchase another channel…this is getting ridiculously out of control.
Ridiculous the show is awesome and can’t believe you are moving the show where most fans will not be able to watch it
Love Seal Team but wont pay extra to watch on Paramount+
This is a bunch of BS! Not everyone can afford Paramount+!
cancelled NFL on CBS
**** nlf on cbs
I love to watch Seal Team. It’s the best shows on CBS as with NCIS Los Angeles and NCIS &Bull and I pay to have this Channel only because of these shows.
I love Seal Team but if I cannot watch on Direct TV I wil not be watching.
Very disappointed with CBS!
as far as some of the stupid stuff they typically promote to television the Seal Team was a home run in my house. I’m really sick from the need to give equal time to “diversity” in all the commercials ran. Just plain disappointing. Netflix here I come!
I agr4eed with you right up to the last sentence. I will never use Netflix! I only watch a few TV shows any more because all the ones I have watched have been or are being cancelled. I will also not pay for any streaming service.
Netflix picked up Lucifer and Longmire and gave them opportunities to end gracefully and satisfactorily. They have their uses.

Sad to see Seal Team is leaving CBS. Big mistake!!
Not much to watch on prime time TV and unfortunately will not be following it to it’s new network. I will miss the adventures of Brovo.
Sad to see it leave. No to Paramount.
Devastated to see it is moving from CBS. No I will not watch on Paramount.
Certainly one of the best shows on tv. Very upset with CBS for not continuing to carry it through season 5. What will it be replaced with? Can’t possibly be of the same quality. I’m retired. Can’t afford another Chanel subscription.
I love this show, and there are not too many left to enjoy, Not all of us have the funds to have internet, so now it looks like no Seals show for me. I think cbs doing this is going to cause the show to go down. Its really not fair for the loyal watchers to be shut out.
