We are a very, very strong performer for CBS, especially on a night like Wednesday night.
We really push the limits of what we can do.
Coming out of this year because of the pandemic, it kind of increased the anxiety.
How do you feel about going to Paramount+?
This allows us to go darker.
I’m not saying we’re going to change the wheel, because we’ve established great characters.
We’re working on that transition now.
I think that’s a good launching pad for us.
It allows us to kind of sell that transition.
[Laughs] Oh my God.
I’ve been in web link TV for over 20 years and now I can drop the F-bomb?
But it’s not about dropping the F-bomb.
You have to earn those moments.
I think they will be more readily earned on a streaming platform.
We can really go there now, and that’s going to be interesting, really.
I’m excited about it.
You’re directing tonight’s penultimate episode.
What can we expect?
There’s going to be a loss, one of the members of Bravo.
Knowing that was coming for a while, it’s hard as a director to deal with.
It pretty much defines who they are, what they sacrifice their lives for.
We have to take care of that after being stuck in this mission.
It will be interesting to see how fans to react to that.
SEAL Teamairs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.
