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.
Please renew Seal Team. It is the one show I cannot wait to see the next episode as far as network TV is concerned. Love the actors and their characters. Very special show. Had no idea Time to Shine was the last season 2 episode. Please bring it back soon. Thank you
This series has heart, soul and grit. Very realistic and every episode is gripping. Very hopeful it continues…
Seal team is not just an entertainment show but a living story of what true dedication and patriotism is for our Military and our Country. America needs to know what it takes (and what we have) in our Military, that keeps us free and safe. Patriotism seems all but lost in our Country (at least from where I see it). We see this show and it gives us so much respect and insight of what our men and women in service go through. Please keep it on. More shows like this are needed.
Please don’t cancel Seal Team. There are so few really great shows on TV anymore the networks are loaded with all those stupid reality TV shows everybody hates it’s just garbage please leave the show alone it’s excellent and we absolutely love it!
I love this show and think it show be renewed. It is one of the few network shows I look forward to seeing. I think lboys and girls need more role models like this.
Seal Team is by far the best show on TV. Everything, the cast, the plots, etc are superb. it’s the only show I really look forward to watching (besides Madam Secretary).
Seal Team is the best show on TV. I look forward every week for this show to come on. Please put it back on the air.
Please renew this show! One of the best on TV! Tired of losing good ones!
Love this show, one of my favorite shows on tv
Renew seal team. PLEASE DONT CANCEL….
FINALLY.. a show that I actually really look forward to watching…I feel like it’s been SO LONG. The show has phenomenal talent, It looks into a very important but never acknowledged side of military family life most dont know about, …and .. to top it off, your employing veterans! Keep up the great work!!!
Don’t cancel Seal Team, its a very good show. Why the cancel the good show’s and put on stupid ones.
I love this show it’s action packed great characters, and good story lines. I’ve contracted Visas to let them now if they don’t finish the season I’m cancelling my subscription, and going to see about other people to join who are fed up with the the networks take our money by airing shows we like then taking them off to air poorly made knock offs like their horrible version of America’s got talent. We need to let them know we deserve respect.
One of the best shows on TV Look foward to it each week. Where has the show been?
Great show. If CBS cancels Seal Team…I’m cancelling CBS!
Yep, same here. Bring her back.
