Magnum P.I. is saying “aloha” to a Season 5 on NBC. The network ordered a two-season, 20-episode pickup on Friday after CBS canceled the rebooted Magnum in May following four seasons. Star Jay Hernandez, who plays the Thomas Magnum role made famous by Tom Selleck in the original ’80s series, took to Twitter with a video message and the #MagnumPISaved hashtag to thank fans who campaigned to save Magnum for a fifth season. See Hernandez’s video below and more reactions from co-stars Perdita Weeks and Stephen Hill.
So many people worked very hard to make this happen. CBS, Universal, Magnum execs & all you fans out there. The tremendous effort paid off in a very unlikely move for any TV show. We can’t wait to start filming again. 🙏🏽 #MagnumPISaved #NBC #ohana ❣️ https://t.co/Jz7JAZN3Mi
