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.
5/19 update: You can see the rest of the latest night’s ratings.

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 agree to it should stay on I love Hawaii five 0 I have season 1 to 6 I am about to get season 7 and I have just read up that they are canceling season 9 it make me very say it should stay on
Please renew Hawaii 50. The actors are great. It’s my husband and my favorite show. This season is the best season. Great writers.
No, I hope and pray that they don’t cancel the show. It is my all time favorite. I loved it when Jack Lord starred in it and it is still just as good.
Team Alex all the way I want a season 9 and beyond with Alex leading the way as Commander Mcgarrett I have been a long time fan of his since 2009 up to now.Team Alex now and forever
100% pro season 9!!! As long as its got Alex and Scott, i’ll be watching!
I Love this show!!! But it was a huge mistake letting Park and Kim leave the show!!! It never fails to amaze me how the networks continue to make the same mistakes over and over and over again…You had a GREAT show going and your shortsightedness has and will ruin the future for Hawaii Five O! It’s almost like you don’t want a successful show because you sabatage yourself by throwing away half of your actors….like they weren’t important. Those two actors were half the reason the show was successful to begin with…if not more! Bring them back and pay… Read more »
I love Hawaii Five-O!! My very favorite character in Dann-O!!
I use to watch the show religiously, but I stopped when I learned of the pay descrepancy and 2 of my favorite characters, Daniel and Grace. I won’t come back until they do.
if kono & chin do NO RETURN I will NEVER EVERY watch the show again . For YEARS the show was like a family. U dont just kick family to the curb & still make money. Pay Chin & Kono, before NO ONE will be making big buck
I watch Hawaii five old every Friday. I even watch all the reruns on Netflix. I wish Kim and Park was still on the show. I’m hoping the show will not be canceled.
I would love to see season 9 of Hawaii five-o
Should have kept the whole cast together. We lost interest.
Thank you for when the show was together.
I enjoy Hawaii FiveO. Personally I think the show is better this year. I do miss the two people who left however the new characters are falling in nicely. Please don’t cancel this show….
We want a new year of Mcdanno……Greece wants Hawaii Five 0
Daniel and Grace, i am happy they left.
I got so tired of them. Some episodes were there were too many of their scene, the episode got really boring.
With the new cast, everything seems more fresh and lively.
