Last season saw a big decline in the demo ratings for Hawaii Five-0. CBS renewed the series for a fifth season and reportedly ordered 25 episodes. Is this a sign that they plan to end the series or could it be renewed for a sixth season if the ratings are strong enough? We’ll have to wait and see.
A reimagining of the original Hawaii Five-0 TV show, this police procedural series revolves around an elite state police task force that fights crime in the 50th state. The series stars Alex O’Loughlin, Scott Caan, Daniel Dae Kim, Grace Park, Masi Oka, and Chi McBride.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly 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.
5/11 update: CBS has renewed Hawaii Five-0 for a sixth season.
Final season averages: 1.24 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 9.48 million total viewers.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated charts, please try reloading the page. You can also see them here.
Due to a Nielsen glitch, some of the early ratings of the 2014-15 season were revised a few weeks later.
For comparisons: The fourth season of Hawaii Five-0 averaged a 1.4 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 9.71 million total viewers.
Note: 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? Do you think it should be cancelled or be renewed for a sixth season?
I do not understand why they target 18-40, when they’re to busy dating and on the ipads, and we the loyal watchers, and love this show, oh! I forgot, we don’t matter.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RENEW THIS!!!! I LOVE HAWAII FIVE-O…IT CANT END
Please renew “Hawaii Five-O”…I look forward to Friday nights..my Dad enjoys the show also…good actors make for great characters…the “banter” between “Steve and Danno” are some of my favorite moments…great action scenes…Love “Hawaii Five-O” !!!
Love this show
Please keep it on!
It is by far my favourite show on TV right now. It is the only show that I watch live, DVR and buy all the DVD sets. I can watch it over and over. The Cast Chemistry is top notch. The Steve/Danno Bromance is my favourite part. I got my friend to start watching it a couple of years ago and she said it is her and her husbands favourite show too! I hope it is on the air for many seasons to come. The ratings are good when you factor in Friday night, a lot of competition at it’s… Read more »
I’ve only seen seasons 1-3 living in Australia but I really enjoy the show. I watch it on dvd though, not TV, they just shove way too many ads in to make it worth watching on TV. Season 4 has just come out on dvd so I am really looking forward to seeing it soon. Good to hear it has made it to at least season 5 in the US.
Keep this show on the air. I love it!!! Get ride of Chi Mcbride. McGarrett and Danny work well together. Bring back McGarretts girlfriend Catherine. She kicks ass!!
Yes I would love for Catherine to come back, she was amazing!
Please keep Hawaii Five -O on the air! Part of the issue is you put it up against Grimm and on Friday, the day shows go to die. I love this show, even have the ring tone and CBS would lose a lot of my votes if you cancel this show.
Hawaii Five-0 is true perfection when it comes to entertainment: the perfect combination of action, drama & comedy, sexy & extremely talented cast, excellent writers/directors/producers, beautiful sceneries… What’s not to love?
Please keep the show running for many many more seasons.
Nothing but great things to say about this show!!!
I think that this show should stay on the air. I love the interaction between Magarrett and Danny. Personally I think adding Chi McBride’s character has really ruined the comaradarie between the other characters.
I really enjoyed HFO with Michelle Borth’s character….haven’t watched since she left.
The problem with most shows on TV these days, is the limited run time. Often, these shows run an episode and then two to three weeks later air another. Most of the time your not sure as to TV shows like Hawaii Five-O, are going to be on or postponed. I feel that by doing this hit-or-miss tactic, that many people miss the show, thus the ratings drop. In the years prior, most TV shows usually ran approximately 24 episodes (every week), now it seems that this number has been reduced by half (12 episodes). Hawaii Five-O is an excellent… Read more »
Please keep Hawaii Five-O on the air…..my hubby & I love watching this show, we watched the Original one too and I love them both……..
PLEASE KEEP IT ON THE AIR!!!!!
RENEW IT FOR MANY SEASONS….PLEASE
Yeah, this week’s ratings adjusted up to 1.5. Highest rated scripted show of the night! That brings this season’s avg close to last season’s avg of 1.4 and 9.7 million. Very good for a 5 y/o show on Friday night to consistently draw around 10 million viewers, not counting the 3 million bump they usually get in Live+3. I don’t see anything else in CBS’ stable that would do any better and it’s such a good fit with Blue Bloods.
Hopefully between these ratings and the Netflix deal, we’ll see a Season 6.
Please keep HFO on the air! I love the characters, and the story plots are great. I am a bit miffed at Catherine’s final “appearance”, but other than that, I love the show! If they going to take Catherine off the show, kill her off so it has some sort of conclusion.
