TV show description:
This military combat drama series revolves around modern American warriors, the members of Navy SEAL Team Six. Their covert mission to eliminate a Taliban leader in Afghanistan goes awry when they uncover a U.S. citizen working with terrorists.
A commanding leader and brilliant soldier, Richard “Rip” Taggart (Walton Goggins) has served valiantly for 17 years as a SEAL, eleven of those on SEAL Team Six. However, fighting an endless war and facing unspeakable atrocities have taken their toll.
Exiled from the Team and the SEAL life that defined him, Rip has cut all ties to his teammates and his family and is doing contractor work for money in Nigeria. After he’s captured with a strong-willed Nigerian teacher (Nondumiso Tembe) and her schoolgirl students, Rip has to rediscover his SEAL identity to save them. Along the way, he struggles to rediscover his humanity.
Rip’s former SEAL Team Six brothers reunite to put their differences aside to locate and rescue their former troop leader.
From a troubled family in mining country, Joe “Bear” Graves (Barry Sloane) is mentally tough, stubborn, and most of all, prepared. Being a SEAL gives Graves structure and purpose. Rip was his role model and when Rip leaves the team, Graves loses the most important member of his SEAL family. He’ll risk everything to save Rip. Lena (Brianne Davis) is his devoted schoolteacher wife.
A freethinking warrior-philosopher, Alex Caulder (Kyle Schmid) was raised by an absent mother and quickly learned that he couldn’t count on anyone. He believes that his disconnectedness makes him the ultimate warrior because he has nothing to lose. When Caulder’s estranged daughter, Dharma, suddenly shows up in his life, he’s unnerved by it. Will their growing connection be a source of strength, or his Achilles heel?
Unflappable, loyal, and good-hearted, Ricky “Buddha” Ortiz (Juan Pablo Raba) grew up in a large family in South Texas, raised by first-generation immigrants from Mexico. On the team, he keeps the peace and cherishes his family. He knows how good he has it with his wife Jackie (Nadine Velazquez) and their two children. Privately, Ortiz is worried about what his life will look like if he leaves the Team.
A first generation Afghan American, Armin “Fishbait” Khan (Jaylen Moore) was born in Oakland. A practicing Muslim, he’s the sniper on the team, and relied on for his fluency in several Middle Eastern languages.
Robert Chase (Edwin Hodge) was a former law student at Harvard before joining the SEALs. Now he’s the new guy on Six, and he has to fight to be a part of the team while battling the expectations of his home family.
Michael Nasry (Dominic Adams) is a first generation American of Lebanese descent from Michigan. After 9/11, he and his family faced anti-Muslim discrimination. Then, when his father was nearly beaten to death, Michael was radicalized. He traveled to Afghanistan to fight against his own countrymen, and quickly rose in the insurgent ranks. But, as an American, he was always an outsider, and convinced his younger brother Omar to leave Michigan and fight with him in Afghanistan. When Michael watches Rip kill Omar, Michael swears vengeance.

What do you think? Do you like the Six TV show? Should it have been cancelled or renewed for a third season on History?
Why would you cancel this amazing show with amazing actors and storyline when there were no advertisements about it coming on!!!???? Literally the absolute best show on History….History channel you have boring and ridiculous shows that are on forever and you actually get a great show on and you cancel!!???? What is wrong with you!????
please don’t cancel SIX third season! my brother was Green berate / special forces and I enjoy this series!
PLEASE DON’T CANCEL THIS SHOW !!!!! MY SON AND I HAVE OUR FATHER / SON TIME ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT WATCHING THIS SHOW…..
THIS ABSO FUKN LUTLEY SUCKS ASS !!!!!
Great Show Season 3 should be renewed
It’s really a shame that Season 3 of SIX was not picked up. Besides being a good show, it dealt with something that no other show has explored: Muslims as good citizens of America versus Muslims who see death and destruction as their calling. It explored how some Muslims view Islam as a religion of ‘Peace’ while others interpret the Koran as calling them to murder and suicide.
Why is it every show I like gets canceled, Six was a great show. Very disappointed.
This is a GREAT show and has good rating WHY cancel it – VERY STUPID!!!!!!!
They need to keep this show on. There are so many stupid shows on now and this is one of the few that is not.
Please, please, PLEASE, don’t cancel this show! Why would you anyway??? If there were more advertising of it, more people would watch it! I accidentally, but luckily, ran across an episode of it during the first season, was hooked, and set up the whole series to record, and watched what I had missed, ON DEMAND. This is one of the most authentic and real shows on TV ~ excellent story-lines, acting…everything! It honors our military, shows what they and their families go thru ~ this is REAL! This is not some watered-down, softened-up, namby-pamby, PG series that doesn’t show it… Read more »
This is a great series!! My husband and I could not wait to see it every week.
We need this series to show what the military goes through when they are in country and what its like to have a family go through it as well.
Good quality show!!!
Please re-consider Six’s cancellation status! It is an excellent show and keeps you on the end of your seat. It warrants another season, if for no other reason, but out of respect for both the military which inspired the show, and for the hard work put in by its cast in preparation for it.
I think this is an excellent program and deserved a third season. It is realistic and it engages its audience. I hope you at least wrap it up and not insult your viewers with an unfinished story.
They couldn’t care less about their viewers….. if they did they would have had the courtesy to at least give the show and viewers a proper ending
Best military style show on tv! I can’t believe you are cancelling this awesome show! This is the only reason I even watch your channel! Totally disgusted!
Six should be renewed. I like the action and the family interaction. Please tie up all the loose ends. Don’t mess us around like NBC did to we fans with the Brave and Timeless.
History didn’t advertise this show. It is their fault that the ratings are not good. I enjoyed the show and was hoping it would be renewed
