SEAL Team Chief Reveals How Much of Season 7 Was Written Before Cancellation News Dropped

SEAL team it was one of many the shows that ended were canceled in 2024with the military drama officially debuting its series finale earlier this month. This was announced late last year SEAL will end after season 7and the show managed, above all, to shut down Bravo in the middle of the 2024 TV schedule. Now, EP Spencer Hudnut reveals how far into Season 7 was written before the cancellation news.

While protagonist of the series David Boreanaz was ready SEAL team to finishthis does not mean that the decision was made immediately. The series was renewed for a seventh season in January 2023, with news of his disappearance that November. That’s a long time between renewal and cancellation, and unfortunately enough time to get pretty far into the script without knowing the end was coming. Here’s what happened, as Spencer Hudnut said TVLine that season 7 was almost complete when Paramount+ decided to ax the show:

When we broke this season, at the time it was 90% written, I had no idea this was going to be the last. It wasn’t really until very late in the process that I realized this was going to be it, and I really only had three acts of the final episode to “land the plane.”
