David Boreanaz's seven-part action thriller series has stormed onto Netflix's official charts.
Having built an iconic TV résumé, Boreanaz is best known for starring as the heartthrob vampire-turned-private investigator Angel on Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997–2003), his eponymous spin-off Angel (1999–2004), and as another homicide investigator, FBI agent Seeley Booth, on Bones (2005–2017). He is also set to star as yet another private investigator in The Rockford Files reboot in 2027. But before then, his seven-part action thriller series is making fresh waves, landing on Netflix's official charts.
Three years after its series finale, SEAL Team has hit Netflix's official charts. Originally aired on CBS and Paramount+ for seven seasons from 2017 to 2024, the series stars David Boreanaz as Master Chief Petty Officer Jason Hayes, the leader of an elite unit of Navy SEALs, as they prepare for and carry out high-risk missions around the world on short notice.
Now, SEAL Team is No. 10 on Netflix's Top 10 TV shows in the world as of today, August 19. It ranks below My Life with the Walter Boys at No. 1, My Brilliant Career, Our Sticky Love, Umthetho, MOURINHO, Raw, Conversations with a Killer: The Charles Manson Tapes, Spooky in Love, and I Will Find You at No. 10.
This week, SEAL Team is on Netflix's Top 10 TV shows in a total of 42 countries, including the United States.
Other than David Boreanaz in the lead role, SEAL Team also stars Max Thieriot, Neil Brown Jr., Jessica Paré, A.J. Buckley, Toni Trucks, Judd Lormand, Raffi Barsoumian, Beau Knapp, and Dylan Walsh. The show originally aired on CBS from 2017 to 2021, before moving exclusively to Paramount+ for the rest of its run, concluding with its finale in 2024.
SEAL Team reviews were mostly positive throughout its run, byt only season 1 has enough reviews on Rotten Tomatoes (24) to qualify for a score of 71%, with critics claiming that its well-crafted first season delivers engaging characters and plenty of promise, though its impact is slightly weakened by a predictable storyline.
Season 1 also has an 81% audience score, with the show averaging 85% across all seven seasons. During its run on CBS before transitioning to Paramount+, SEAL Team averaged nearly 10 million live-plus same-day viewers in its first season, with its traditional broadcast viewership later declining to roughly 4–5 million per season before the move to streaming.
So, if you're craving a dose of high-stakes action, SEAL Team looks like a solid pick right now on Netflix.
