After a successful 12 season run on Bones, David Boreanaz returns to series TV with a starring role in CBS’ SEAL Team. The action drama is executive produced by series creator Benjamin Cavell along with Ed Redlich, Christopher Chulack, Sarah Timberman, and Carl Beverly, with Cavell writing and Chulack directing. In addition to Boreanaz as Jason Hayes, the cast includes Max Thieriot as Clay Spenser, Neil Brown Jr. as Ray, AJ Buckley as Sonny, Toni Trucks as Davis, and Jessica Paré as Mandy Ellis.


Episode one guest stars include Daniel Gillies, Judd Lormand, Michael Rooker, Reiko Aylesworth, Michaela McManus, Kerri Medders, Hunter Wilson, and Ty Olsson. CBS will premiere SEAL Team on Wednesday, September 27, 2017 at 9pm ET/PT.

The Plot: Jason Hayes is the respected, intense leader of the Tier One team whose home life has suffered as a result of his extensive warrior’s existence. His team includes his trusted confidant, Ray, the longest-tenured operator with whom Jason shares an ingrained shorthand, and Sonny, an exceptional, loyal soldier with a checkered past who still combats self-destructive tendencies. Undergoing additional rigorous training in the hope of joining Hayes’ select unit is Clay Spenser, a young, multi-lingual second generation SEAL with insatiable drive and dedication.

Vital to the team’s success are CIA analyst Mandy Ellis, who has sacrificed everything in her drive to root out evil and take down terrorists, and Davis, a no-nonsense, take-charge logistics officer and unofficial den mother responsible for outfitting the team with the necessary gear for each mission. Deployed on clandestine missions worldwide at a moment’s notice, and knowing the toll it takes on them and their families, this tight-knit SEAL team displays unwavering patriotism and fearless dedication even in the face of overwhelming odds.
