Such was the tremendous response for the fourth season of 'SEAL Team' that a new installment renewal hardly comes as a surprise. That though isn't the only news on the block. The CBS military drama will air the first four episodes on the network and switch to Paramount+ after. The move to the streamer comes as the platform attempts to appeal to the younger audience. 

And while we wait for the high-octane series to make an arrival, here are some of the binge-worthy titles that you can take a look at: 'NCIS: Hawai'i', 'FBI: International, and 'FBI: Most Wanted'.

Trailer

Showrunner Spencer Hudnut, in an interview with TV Line opened up about what to expect. "Three months, and I would say, ironically, that Jason is probably in the most stable place," he said, talking about the time that has passed from the events of season 4 and t because of all the work he did on himself last year. He is becoming an even better, all-around leader, more of a sheep dog inside the wire and outside the wire. He’s kind of more Obi-Wan than Luke Skywalker now, but he’s in a good place."
