‘SEAL Team’: John Glenn joins CBS series as new host, two EPs depart

Founded by Benjamin Cavell, SEAL Team is run by veteran Ed Redlich under the one-year deal he signed for Season 1, with both serving as executive producers. Cavell and Redlich are leaving the series as they adjust the creative direction for Season 2.

SEAL Team has been a solid ratings performer for CBS, ranking as the network’s No. 1 new drama among adults 18-49 and earning an early Season 2 renewal.

“SEAL Team has solidified our Wednesday lineup – regularly winning time slots with more than 10 million viewers and allowing us to build on an even stronger night,” CBS Entertainment president Kelly Kahl said at the time of the renewal, adding that the series is also the top streamer on the company’s digital platforms, including CBS.com and CBS All Access.

SEAL Team, starring David Boreanaz, follows the professional and personal lives of the Navy SEALs’ most elite unit as they train, plan and execute the most dangerous missions the country we can ask. Glenn will executive produce alongside Christopher Chulack, Sarah Timberman and Carl Beverly. SEAL Team is produced by CBS Television Studios and Timberman-Beverly

Glenn’s credits also include History’s critically acclaimed short films Hatfields & McCoys as well as the film Eagle Eye. He is represented by CAA.
