NBC Saves CBS’ Magnum P.I.

Television

Back in May, it was reported that CBS would not renew the reboot of Magnum P.I. for a fifth season, much to many fans’ outrage. The show first premiered in 2018 and starred Jay Hernandez as Thomas Magnum and Perdita Weeks as gender-swapped Juliet (formerly John) Higgins. Fans were happy with the season four finale, where the two finally confessed their feelings for each other… and then the show was scrapped.

However, NBC Studios has picked it up for a two-year, twenty-episode deal! All the regular cast members are returning, and it will air in 2023. Are you excited for NBC to pick up the show? Did you even know that Magnum P.I. was on the air?

Who doesn't love a good plot twist?! You made some noise, @nbc listened and here we are ready to ride into the next two seasons. Be seeing y'all soon. #ohana #NBC #magnumpi @ Rainbow Drive-In https://t.co/J6xUaF7qTb
