Last year, of the 26 scripted CBS TV series we tracked during the regular season, the SEAL Team TV show ranked eighth in the demo and 12th in terms of total audience size. If that was just beginner’s luck, the ratings will drop off in the second season. But if this show has the soul of a warrior, it could even increase its audience this time around. Will SEAL Team be cancelled or renewed for season three? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
A CBS military drama, SEAL Team stars David Boreanaz, Max Thieriot, Neil Brown Jr., AJ Buckley, Toni Trucks, Jessica Paré, and Judd Lormand. The 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 the U.S.A. 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. Their love of country and deep resolve is unmatched.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly in the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival.

What do you think? Do you like the SEAL Team TV series? Should it be cancelled or renewed for third season on CBS?
*5/9/19 update: CBS has renewed SEAL Team for a third season.
Very much enjoy the show. Do not cancel.
Please dont cancel the show. Love the show
Love the show. Please bring it back.
Seal Team is by far the best show on television. Sadly it has ruined any other military based show or movie for me because of the quality and accuracy on this show. It’s flat amazing and David Borneaze is just down right amazing on this show. Seriously guys fantastic job and please keep it up. I cannot get enough.
Please. My favorite show on TV
BORING. NOT TRUE to life. Poor script, acting and down right false. There are better shows out there. Brain dead tv.
So you are just realizing this after watching it for a year & 1/2?? emmm…stop watching then!
Then why watch it?? Boreanez is fantastic, I have watched him since Angel and the rest of the cast follow suit they are all great! Poor acting, have you been watching with your eyes closed? It deserves to stay. Strike back used to be the best but when Scott and Mike left strike back was gone but they brought that back and it had, had its day. Now that is crap this on the other hand was new and has done really well so it deserves to stay!
Seal Team needs to return!! By far the best on tv!!!
Please renew. LOVE this show…FROM A UK VIEWER.
Please renew. LOVE this show…
Best show on tv! Yes bring season 3
By far, the best show on tv right now.
I love Seal Team please please make a season 3. Season 2 so far has been excellent and very emotional for Jason and his family which includes Bravo team. Just love it.
Agree with everyone about SWAT the acting and scineros are awful
We are So pleased with SEAL TEAM.OUR FAVORITE. WE JUST DROPPED SWAT BECAUSE IF SEXUAL TRASH. PLEASE DONT DO THAT TO SEAL TEAM
I agree. I watched SWAT since beginning and the recent smut and insufferable content has put me off forever. Keep Seal Team decent.
Sorry for the typo. The end of the last sentence should read Seal Team!
I really enjoy Seal Team, both plot and characters. Keep going with Seal Teal!
