Bravo will have yet another problem to deal with when SEAL Team‘s seventh — and final — season arrives in 2024.

As reported by our sister site Deadline, Beau Knapp (The Lost Symbol) has been cast in the series regular role of Drew Franklin, a Chief Petty Officer with a checkered history whose assignment to Bravo Team is indicative of their “problem child status” in the eyes of higher-ups.

Remember, Season 6 left off with Bravo’s fate uncertain, given an impressive but possibly damning demonstration of solidarity. Team leader Jason Hayes had disclosed — at his Navy Cross ceremony, no less — his TBI and compromised state on recent missions, after which he was called on the carpet by superiors. “You created one hell of a mess, and left us no choice but to stand you down,” Blackburn announced.

But Ray interrupted that proceeding to reveal that he has been suffering PTS since his kidnapping, after which everybody else filed into the room — Sonny, Brock, Trent, Omar, and two dozen other operators, each recounting what impairs them. Near-constant headaches. Tinnitus. Breacher syndrome. The inability to sleep. Blurry vision. Memory lapses. You name it.

“Thanks, brother,” Jason said to Ray beside him. Ray scoffed, “What’s command gonna do, pull all our birds? Like you taught me, boss dog: Always improve your fighting position.”

SEAL Team is filming its farewell run now, to hit Paramount+ sometime in 2024. (At the time that it’s final season was announced, TVLine also heard that the standalone movie put in development some time ago had been quietly shelved.)

Knapp’s previous TV credits also include The Good Lord Bird, L.A.’s Finest, Seven Seconds and a guest-starring role in the three-way Law & Order/SVU/Organized Crime crossover that aired on NBC in fall 2022.
