Paramount+ has renewed SEAL Team , headlined by David Boreanaz, for a seventh season. The pickup comes two months after the popular military drama’s Season 6 finale, which ended with a cliffhanger. The delay, compared to the Season 6 renewal which came a week after the Season 5 finale, prompted fans to launch a #RenewSEALTeam social media campaign, which sent the show’s title trending multiple times over the last few weeks. I hear there was no behind-the-scene drama, and the delay largely was due to back-and-forth about ways to produce the series more efficiently for streaming. Because SEAL Team originated as a broadcast drama, it employs sound stages and sets that were used about 9 months of the year to film 22 episodes a season. Now that that has been reduced to 10 episodes a season for Paramount+, keeping all those sets year-round incurs storage fees as they stay idle for more than half of the time. With all productions scrutinizing their budgets these days amid … [Read more...] about ‘SEAL Team’ Renewed For Season 7 By Paramount+; What About The Movie?
