The Hawaii Five-0 TV show’s ratings declined for several years in a row. In its seventh season though, the CBS reboot basically maintained its demo rating average, and its total viewership grew. With the departures of stars Daniel Dae Kim and Grace Park, as well as Masi Oka, will the ratings increase further, or will they sink as a result of the losses? Is this TV series nearing its end, anyhow? Alex O’Loughlin has indicated this eighth season may be his last. Will Hawaii Five-0 be cancelled or renewed for season nine? Stay tuned.
A reimagining of the original Hawaii Five-0, this CBS police procedural stars Alex O’Loughlin, Scott Caan, Ian Anthony Dale, Meaghan Rath, Beulah Koale, Jorge Garcia, Chi McBride, Taylor Wily, Dennis Chun, and Kimee Balmilero. The action revolves around Detective Steve McGarrett (O’Loughlin) and his elite state police task force. Together, they fight crime in the 50th state.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly in the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.

For comparisons: The seventh season of Hawaii Five-0 averaged a 1.15 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 9.247 million total viewers (live + same day ratings).
Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you still like the Hawaii Five-0 TV series? Should it be cancelled or renewed for season nine on CBS?
4/18/18 update: CBS has renewed Hawaii Five-0 for a ninth season for the 2018-19 network broadcast season. Details here.
I love the show I had watched sense season 1 and even tho the departure of Kono and chin is still a great show so please refer don’t cancel it
The CW channel for everyone when it start 20 decades ago with creepy shows now since Smallville was on the air and end been all are on these days tired of it. Macgver not made for that channel original was on abc back in 1980’s topics very good everyone even new one get ratings up please and Hawaii Five-0 too they are awesome shows to watch back to back.
Loved the original series, and for 6 years watched the current crew. Amazing that Alec is Australian, he does U.S. accent so well. Grace and Daniel were integral, so since CBS couldn’t come up with more money, and the two main stores didn’t offer a bit of their increase to them, I stopped watching. Just watching Grace was the highlight of the show for me, and I lived 3 years there while in the Air Force. Without the two other actors, not the same.
I love Hawaii Five-O please do not cancel it.
I love Hawaii 5-0. Please don’t cancel.
Please do not cancel Hawaii Five-O. We absolutely love this show and want it to continue. Please continue this show.
Please renew Hawaii Five 0, it is the best show on TV. Encourage Alex (aussie, aussie, aussie, oi, oi, oi) to do another season. It wouldnt be the same without him and Dano
Please don’t cancel the show. Love it! Love it! Love it! One of, if not my favourite show.
definitely renew and the cast may be different but thats okay as long as Alex O’loughlin and Scott Cann stay thats all that matters but i do think Meaghan Rath (Tani) is a much better fit
than Grace Park (kono) was
Steve M (Alex) is the true heart of the show. If he goes or losses his mojo on the show it’s definitely over. The show itself is basically the same w/out Daniel and Grace. I was never a huge fan of Grace (due to poor acting relatively speaking) on the show. Daniel was one of my favs. My least fav has always been Danny. I agree, they could have dumped him and used that salary to pay Daniel and Grace and kept them both. The show could survive a/out Danny easy enough, especially if they got a real good replacement.… Read more »
I watch this show every week and just love it. PLEASE DON’T CANCEL THIS SHOW.
i agree with Dawn i also love the show and disagree with katie it doesnt matter daniel and grace are gone its still the same just new people and as long as Alex O’loughlin (Mcgarrett) and Scott Cann (Danny) are in the show it will always be good and i think Meaghan Rath (Tani) is a better fit than Grace Park (kono)
I think it sucks that Grace and Daniel are gone but the cast is still solid and Meaghan brings a lot of fire to the drama! I really like her. I think she’s tougher than Grace was on the show. I love the show and I really think it deserves to keep going. If I had my pick of someone who should go or be killed off, I would say its time for Chi McBride to exit. He doesn’t bring all that much to the table anymore. He’s boring.
Hawaii Five O is my all time favorite show.
I just dearly love Alex O’Loughlin and Scott Caan.
My husband says I am a grump if I don’t watch this show and I have to agree with him.
Love, Love Hawaii Five O.
Should be cancelled show went down hill ,why don’t Danny and Steve just admit they are gay. They argue like 12 year old girls.
