Sharing fun moments brought a sense of trust among the members, which, Hopper believed, they were able to replicate in the series. He further commented on the cast's bonding.

"It’s interesting that we’re doing a show about teams, and Navy SEALs, because the team environment in this show is a testament to why it’s so good," Hopper shared.

The actor, who appears as Raife Hastings in the series, also disclosed that the close bonding and openness between the actors made the process easier for them.

"What was kind of crazy is how quickly we all bonded. Everyone was open to each other in a social environment, so we became tight very quickly," he stated.

Hopper's comments prove that the chemistry and onscreen bonding between the cast have been translated to the unique moments in the series, promising a special watching experience to the viewers.
