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.

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?
RENEW, RENEW, RENEW!!!!!!!! I love this show. It actually has substance to it and I second what everyone else has said!
Please renew the show… I cant sleep without watching the amazing bromance between Alex and Scott.
I’m surprised this show never won any awards. It seems similar to “24” in plot lines and back stories. (I don’t know – maybe 24 didn’t win any either?) The chemistry between Caan and O’Loughlin is amazing, I love that they made Caan’s character a bit of a neurotic type with anxiety issues. I find the back story the most intriguing with the Wo Fat character and the references and stories connected to McGarrett’s parents, especially his mother.

y CBS needs to renew Hawaii Five o – As a fan of this show I enjoy every single episode and watch any reruns and any on demand episodes. I would hate to see great show cancelled – It would break my heart. I would so greatly miss all the characters and their great chemistry together make this show so enjoyable and entertaining. I look forward to watching this show every week. Please renew this show so that I can continue to enjoy my favorite show in the world.
I can’t get enough of this show. I am so sick of reality tv and there isn’t much else of substance on tv now. Please, please renew this show with the original characters. You did an amazing job on picking the cast and I hate to see changes. Please keep this show on the air.
Yes this show is Awesome, I hope it don’t end 🙁 this is next to breaking bad, the black list, prison break, and lost, all awesome show’s i’m dieing for a season 6 come one CBS lol.
I agree with Keith. I also grew up watching the original series. This reboot is even better. The onscreen chemistry of the cast is one of the best in the industry. Fabulous plots, beautiful locations, and funny, crisp dialogue. Love the addition of Grover and Gerry. It’s TGIF at our house: Hawaii 5-0, then Blue Bloods, homemade popcorn and a cold Pepsi. Nice way to spend a snowy winter night.
This show is amazing I love the cast. Definitely needs to be renewed
