‘SEAL Team’ becomes a Paramount Plus exclusive throughout Season 5

Fans of the CBS show SEAL Team spent much of Season 4 wondering if this would be the show’s final season. This season killed off some beloved characters while also building up some final touches to arcs that had been building for a while — but the news of Season 5 came with the announcement that the show would be leaving the network. family.

This news surprised fans, who have been following the new episodes since 2017. Why did the show leave CBS?

‘Seal Team’ leaves CBS to become exclusive to Paramount Plus.
After the show’s fate remained in limbo for a while, it was finally confirmed that Seal Team Season 5 would become a Paramount Plus exclusive, taking the title off the network after four seasons. This means the show will remain under the CBS group but will instead become a streaming-only show.
The exact reason for this transition is not entirely clear, although it may have something to do with CBS promoting its new streaming network. Paramount Plus, formerly CBS All Access, was not as well received as Paramount Plus. The show has a very dedicated fan base, so it’s possible the network is hoping that making the show a streaming exclusive will attract more subscribers.

David Boreanaz, who plays Jason Hayes on the show, said on Instagram on October 31 about the transition: “It’s been a ride on Network TV for over 20 years, this Sunday marks my final episode on Network for SEAL Team”. “Thank you CBS for all your support and love for our show. I look forward to streaming and all it brings to our great show! Stay tuned Stay tuned for a great goodbye and an even better New Beginning!”
Season 5 moves from CBS to Paramount Plus during the season.
As SEAL Team moved to the new streaming service, the first few episodes of the season continued to air on CBS during SEAL Team’s regular broadcast timeslot. But starting November 1, all new Season 5 episodes will only be available to stream on Paramount Plus.

The service will continue to air each new episode, appearing on the streaming service every Sunday – the same day the show usually airs on the network – until the end of the season. The November 1 episode will be a sequel to the two-part episode that began airing on Sunday, October 31. Clearly the network is hoping the cliffhanger will entice more people to subscribe to the streaming service while the shocking ending still lingers in their minds.

At this time, it’s unclear whether Paramount Plus will continue its weekly format if SEAL Team is renewed for a sixth season or if the show will start rolling out all new seasons at once, but as opposed to other seasons. Other platforms like Netflix, Paramount Plus usually release episodes weekly. weekly.
