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?
Do it! I love the show & the cast. I miss Grace & Daniel but love the new cast members too.
Please make another Hawaii 5 0 I am 70 and watched the original. I love the mercury his dad drove. Love the show please Michael you are committed too keep going too the end. Whenever that is. God put in that role so please keep it going. Love ❤️ love the show the cast is great Scott Caaan is awsome.
I definitely want a new season 9. If Steve is tired of all the physical stuff, why not have
the stunt people take are of all that physical stuff. That’s what they do. Great acting and the plots are fun.. I really love the show.
When the show first aired my daughter asked me if I would watch it. Of course I told her no mainly because I was hooked on the original one.
However started watching during the 4th or maybe the 5th season and enjoyed it so much I continued watching. The show became part of my Fri night lineup.
Now that I have Netflix I went back and begin watching from the first episode. Please do season 9. Danny might be a pill but he’s ok. But I must say that I miss Grace and Daniel.
Absolutely love this show the comedy is my favorite. Would hate to see Alex leave and quite frankly without Alex I don’t see the show going on because it would be useless (he is the star for a reason). Love all the characters and want to say the character of Lou is a wonderful one love his insight to the show. However, shows don’t last forever and actors need to be with families and love ones and also to expand their careers. The only thing is I would like to have seen Steve and Catherine get married maybe on a… Read more »
I want to see more action with the new girl … I feel like she isn’t bonding with the people
On the team! And I honestly love herrrr
Please keep Hawaii Five O for season 9 and many more great acting and awesome cast and lots of action great stories
I hope they renew Hawaii Five O for season 9 it’s a great show Not many great shows to watch any more a lot of stupid reality shows like big brother Let’s hope they keep Five O
DO THE SEASON 9! RENEW!!! REALLY LOVE THIS SHOW ALL THE FROM SF CALI!
I hope you decide to do a season 9 of Hawaii 5-O. I ave watched every episode, every season several times over. Mr. OLoughlin is an excellent actor and the rest of the cast fits right in. they actually make an excellent team. Although I miss Kono, and Chin, Dr. Bergman….the cast was quite well adjusted again. please, please make #9.
I’m really digging the new additions. I thought I was done with the show after the way it treated Park and Kim’s salary disputes, but Megan and Beulah are giving it some fresh energy, Scott Cann is taking enough breaks to keep involved, and the plots are consistently interesting. My Friday night stop for nearly a decade – Gung ho Five-O!
I think the departures of Grace Park and Daniel Day Kim have had a negative effect on the series. With all due respect to Megan Rath and Beulah Koale, they are just not as good as their predecessors. Also I think the whole thing with Danny and Steve’s restaurant is just plain stupid and unnecessary. Despite this, I think “Hawaii Five-0” still has some life left in it. I am glad Alex O’Loughlin has decided to stay on board.
I love Hawaii 50. I hope it continues at Least another season!
I couldn’t agree more with Mr. Fortunato’s comment!
The restaurant idea is stupid. I don’t think it would be if Danny weren’t such a whiner. I don’t care for him at all. Fairly good show otherwise.
I too agree with Fortunato’s comment. Burn down the restaurant before it opens in a revenge plot against 5-0 and be done with it.
Love show and cast!!
best show on tv.. alex has to get some balls and go on//// so any people are employed and over 2 million plus people love the show.. sure some arrangements can be made for several seasons ahead
I’ve been s hardcore Hawaii Five 0 fan since Jack Lord inaugurated the series. I hope for at least a couple more seasons with Alex 0’Laughlin.
