HISTORY’s new military combat drama
series “SIX,” makes its series debut on
Wednesday, January 18 at 10PM ET/PT.
The eight episode first season of “SIX” follows members
of Navy SEAL Team Six, modern American warriors, whose
covert mission to eliminate a Taliban leader in
Afghanistan goes awry when they uncover a U.S. citizen
working with terrorists. Inspired by real
missions, the series authentically captures the inside
world of America’s elite Special Operations unit – what
these SEALs do, their personal lives, combat and the
life-and-death decisions they make to protect and serve
their country.
“SIX”
is an authentic portrayal of what it means to be a
member of SEAL Team Six, a true brotherhood, the best at
what they do. The series begins with SEAL Team Six
troop leader Richard ‘Rip’ Taggart (Walton
Goggins/
“Vice Principals”; The Hateful Eight)
making a questionable decision while on a mission in
Afghanistan. Two years later, Rip is captured by Boko
Haram and it’s up to his former SEAL Team Six brothers –
led by Joe Graves (Barry
Sloane/
“Revenge”), Alex Caulder (Kyle
Schmid/
“Copper”) and Ricky “Buddha” Ortiz (Juan
Pablo Raba/
“Narcos”) – to put their differences aside to locate and
rescue their former troop leader.
