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.

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."
