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.
Episode #18 — Danger Close
The members of U.S. Navy SEAL Team 6 go on a mission to eliminate a Taliban leader in Afghanistan.

What do you think? Do you like the Six TV show? Should it have been cancelled or renewed for a third season on History?
Very disappointed this series was cancelled! It had more substance than any of the new “seal” type shows. Hate getting invested in a series that quits! Great cast, wish Netflix would pick it up!
I almost agree except I feel like both shows are excellent!!! I can’t stand the fact that they unexpectedly just drop it and leave us with absolutely no resolution to any of the storylines!!! I wish Netflix would pick it up too. Or make it into a DVD series and at least try to finish up the stories they have going already…. then sell it as a 3 series set.
I just tried looking up when Six was coming back. I’m very disappointed to see it’s been cancelled. Please consider bringing the show back!!
Please bring it back.
I really hope that some other network picks this show up. I love History Chanel, but I’m very disappointed that they decided not to renew this series.
Love this show!!! Very disheartening to see it end.
I absolutely love this show. Please bring it back!!! So disappointing!
This was a inspiring series, and cancelled why? Do sick of all the good series being cancelled. Let alone we waited 18 months for season two. Who makes these decisions? Due to public response no one wanted it cancelled . Stop taking off the great tv series that ppl so much wish to view. Who ever ordered this cancelled should be cancelled too, .
I don’t know but I think it had something to do with the guy who “ran” the production company. I don’t remember his name but he was caught “allegedly” sexually assaulting women who were trying out for parts on different shows for years. The brave women who finally stood up to him started the #metoo movement. Only thing is we have to suffer his consequences because instead of someone else doing his job they canceled the show. And also they have created a culture that even people who weren’t assaulted claim they were. I was a victim of sexual abuse… Read more »
Absolutely bring back the show. Love it. One of the best military shows on tv. Good story lines. Love the cheracters. They looked the
Part. Your leaving me hanging.
Bring it back! Season 2 was completely left open. If your going to cancel a show, at least have legitimate closure at the end!
BRING BACK SIX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is one of the best shows on TV and you cancel it? PLEASE, PLEASE BRING IT BACK!
Please bring it back! Why is it when a good show is on and you are all in it…….it’s cancelled. I love SIX!
And if you do want to end it, at least give it a proper ending!!! Don’t leave it mid-story!!!! That’s infuriating!!!
I am very unhappy about the cancellation of Six my husband and I watched it faithfully. Now you have nearly all reality shows on. And they aren’t very good. you take the one good show off and replace it with, pardon my language, crap. Not very smart in my opinion.
Please bring six back so I can renew my subscription , Until they bring it back I will just watch seal team over the air for free but six was better, worth buying cable or hulu ect. please bring back SIX !!!
agree 100%, what can we do to get another station to pick this series up??????
I like Six so sorry to hear it has been cancelled I hate being left hanging on that last episode now I will not know how it ends. They should bring back the series
yeah same here, not only left hanging.. It was the best show on TV
Best show on the History Channel for sure!!!
It was a great show. I felt that we got learned a lot about our important military members. It was great !
