The Hawaii Five-0 team is expanding. This week, CBS announced Ian Anthony Dale, Meaghan Rath, and Beulah Koale have joined season eight of the TV show.
As reported earlier, long-time cast members Daniel Dae Kim and Grace Park will not be returning for the upcoming season of the action drama. Allegedly, the two left because the studio would not offer Kim and Park salaries equal to their co-stars Alex O’Loughlin and Scott Caan.
Now, Hawaii Five-0 is adding some new members to the squad. Dale, who has recurred on the CBS TV show since season two, will reprise his role as Adam Noshimuri for season eight. Meanwhile, newcomers Rath and Koale will play new recruits for the Hawaii Five-0 team.
The new season of Hawaii Five-0 premieres on CBS on September 29th at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
