This past January, it was revealed that Paramount Skydance had entered into a licensing deal to make several popular shows originally aired on Paramount+ and CBS available to stream on Netflix, including series like Mayor of Kingstown, Matlock, Watson, and The King of Queens. So far, the only show to make the jump to Netflix has been Lawman: Bass Reeves, produced by Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan. Now, we know what show is coming next.
According to What's On Netflix, multiple seasons of the military procedural show SEAL Teamwill be available to stream on Netflix on Aug. 18, 2026. SEAL Team follows the members of Bravo Team, the most elite unit of Navy SEALs, as they train, plan, and execute dangerous, clandestine missions around the globe, all while dealing with their personal lives. The show is led by Bones star David Boreanaz as Bravo Team leader Jason Hayes. It also stars Max Thieriot (Fire Country), Neil Brown Jr. (Straight Outta Compton), A.J. Buckley (CSI: NY), Toni Trucks (Corporate), and Jessica Paré (Mad Men).
SEAL Team debuted on CBS in 2017 and soon became a reliable hit for the network. Partway through its fifth season, it began airing exclusively on Paramount+ and wrapped up with a seventh season in 2024. The jump to streaming allowed the show to push boundaries with darker, more mature storylines that wouldn't have been permitted on network TV.
We don't actually know how many seasons of SEAL Team will be available on Netflix come Aug. 18; we only know that there will be two or more. We may learn the specifics when Netflix releases its August schedule on Jul. 22.
Why would Paramount Skydance only make some, but not all, of the seven seasons of SEAL Team available to stream on Netflix? They may want to retain some seasons in the hopes that people will subscribe to Paramount+ and watch them there. With over 325 million subscribers around the world, Netflix is far and away the most popular streaming service, and any show available to watch there is guaranteed to get new eyes on it. It's common for other, less popular streamers to license their content to Netflix in the hopes of finding new audiences for it, but they don't want to give away everything. Paramount+, which has around 80 million subscribers, is no exception.
No matter how many seasons of SEAL Team become available on Netflix, it should be a great new binge for the uninitiated.
