SEAL Teams sixth season may have just started but after that wild premiere we need more — and we should be at least getting a movie.

Paramount+ announced in February that it would be expanding the military dramas universe with a stand-alone film from the series creative team of David Boreanaz Christopher Chulack and Spencer Hudnut. So when we caught up with Hudnut recently we tried to find out more about it as what the future holds for SEAL Team. Plus get a tease for how the current season ends and more.

Can you say anything about the movie?

Spencer Hudnut Not really at the moment. We just wrapped Season 6 a week ago in Jordan. So were just kind of focused on having a great launch of this and hopefully giving the fans a great season. And then after that movie Season 7 theres a lot more stories to tell and were excited to tell them — hopefully have the opportunity to tell them I should say.

So do you know if the movie would be between Seasons 6 and 7? Or not yet?

Theres still a lot of conversations going on about that. So I think theres a lot to be figured out.

I know Season 6 is just starting but are you feeling confident about Season 7?

I feel very confident about the stories were telling in Season 6. And I think my hope is that the audience is engaged by what were doing. My hope is that they feel like we continue to raise the bar just in our production value. This is why we went to Jordan for the last month to shoot the last parts of the last four episodes. Were trying to continue to raise the bar and just bring as good a show as possible to our audience. Were trying not to repeat ourselves were trying to keep the show fresh. And so I think at the end of this season we leave all of our Bravo family in a place where theres clearly a lot more story to tell. So yeah my hope is that we can continue moving forward and having this deep connection with our audience.

Speaking of not repeating yourselves does that mean that we shouldnt expect Season 6 to end with all of Bravo in danger again like Season 5?

[Laughs] Yeah looking back on Season 5 we made this move to Paramount+ nobody knew if it would work or not. We had some question marks moving forward and so on the one hand I felt like leaving Bravo in the middle of a firefight was almost appropriate given the show was about these forever wars and it was the 20th anniversary of the war on terror. But at the same time there were so many question marks about potentially losing members of our cast and so that sort of necessitated the cliffhanger. I think we end this season in a place where people will want to come back and see how we get Bravo out of their next predicament.

And the move to Paramount+ has been good because you can do more with the type of show you have.

Oh for sure yeah. Just creatively and from a writing perspective its been so liberating. I think its allowed us just to dig a little deeper into these storylines be a little darker and we pride ourselves on our authenticity and I think the show feels even more real than maybe it did on CBS. We didnt want to change the formula too much because obviously we had a strong audience over at CBS but I think its been a really good move for the show. And I think this season in particular you really get to see what we can do with 10 episodes. So it was exciting from a writing point of view to break a season that really only covered 10 episodes as opposed to 22 of the past.
