Is Alex O’Loughlin leaving Hawaii Five-0 or not? Recently, the star of the CBS TV show spoke with TVLine about his plans for a possible season nine.
Currently in its eighth season, the action series reboot revolves around Detective Steve McGarrett (O’Loughlin) and his elite state police task force in the state of Hawaii. The cast also includes Scott Caan, Ian Anthony Dale, Meaghan Rath, Beulah Koale, Jorge Garcia, Chi McBride, Taylor Wily, Dennis Chun, and Kimee Balmilero.
Last year, O’Loughlin said he was leaving Hawaii Five-0 after season eight. However, now it looks like his mind has changed. In a recent interview with TVLine, O’Loughlin said season nine is a possibility:
I don’t know that I’d say I got a ‘second wind’… But is there a way that I can realistically see a Season 9 being a part of my life? I think so.”
He added:
To be honest with you, mate, if you had asked me [about re-signing] two years ago, my answer would have been, like, ‘No f’–king way.’ I want a quality of life, and I want to be with my family. I’ve been able to put Humpty together again.
I am still very tired at the end of the season, and after almost 200 episodes of television. But I can sort of quietly and sensibly sit back and go, ‘There’s a version where if CBS can make a deal and be reasonable, then I’m prepared to be reasonable, too.’”
CBS has not yet announced a season nine renewal for Hawaii Five-0, but it seems likely given the series’ solid ratings.
What do you think? Do you watch Hawaii Five-0? Do you want another season?
Most definitely want a 9th series & 10 + more best thing on UK tv… love the whole gang ❤
I would love a season nine. It would not be Hawaii 5-0 without Steve Mcgarrett
Love the show
Serbia wants Seson 9!!! <3
Yes I want a ninth season.
Yeah, I definitely want a ninth season.
Love the show and Alex O’Loughlin.
Scott Caan is the one that needs to go. His character has become too grumpy.
The WRITERS need to back off of the constant grumpy sour puss writing for Scott. I like that the guys pick and poke at each other like brothers but they need to stop with the constant negative. It is a turn off.
Caan is only in about half the episodes now. It’s obvious that he is tired of the show and tired of living on Hawaii. He just needs to go ahead and move on to something else.
Love this show it would be real sad to see it end.
Money talks.
Love this show. Look forward to my Friday nite TV. I love all the characters.
This article just made my week. I love this series and I’m not ready for it to end. Please CBS give Alex what he wants
This article just made my day! Go for it Alex! Love the show, the charecters, and am glad Alex isn’t ready to call it quits yet!
Love the show. Please renew another season.
No. I don’t think so. Things haven’t been the same since Daniel and Grace left. But even before their departures the show lost its way a long time ago. Time to say aloha to “Five-O” while people are still interested in watching it. Time Alex had the opportunity to do other things. He’s played the same character for eight years. Christ, mate, aren’t you bored already?
Forget Daniel and Grace, they wanted more money than the main star, are you kidding me? They left greedy money hungry fools, what have they done since? NOTHING!
I ‘ve been watching Hawai Five-0 since the first episode. I love all of the characters and I love how the new characters matched with the team in season eight. Of course I miss Chin Ho and Cono but the show goes on. I ‘d love to watch it for many more seasons, even though it’s up to the producers and the actors.
Of course we see Hawaii five 0 ….Greece and Hawaii the best combination❤❤❤
A season 9 would be great. I think the more in depth storylines have added value to the shows success.
