Hawaii Five-0 ended its run on CBS after 10 seasons, and the last scene of the episode was full of emotion. Peter Lenkov revealed why the final moments of the series were so emotional. There were some real tears shed by the cast in those moments.
Per Deadline, Lenkov revealed the following about the end of the CBS series:
“I had told the cast and crew two hours earlier that the decision was made that the show was not coming back. Everything you see there in that scene, including the dog, was so real. You almost had to imagine that the dog sensed it. (laughs) But everything you saw in that goodbye was real tears and genuine affection and emotion for each other.”
Lenkov also feels that the scene was the best scene of Hawaii Five-0 he ever shot. The series did go out on a high note. It had the highest ratings in 27 episodes for the series.
What do you think? Did you enjoy the finale of Hawaii Five-0? Do you want the series to return?
I am going to miss h50 couldn’t wait for Friday to come now what to watch the ending had me in tears I hope they will think of something to bring it back.
So sad the show is over. I was a fan of the original H50 and became a bigger fan of this series. I cried like I’m sure everyone else did. The cast was great and fit so well together. I know that McGarret hurt his back for real and it was painful for him to continue. I just wish that the series could have continued without him and that he and Kathryn could have come back in guest shots. Keep that in mind Mr. Lenkov!
I was so disappointed toward the end because of no Kat bt then when she said Hi Sailor, i just got goosebumps and then then they both said they were ready, it was my tearjerker. I think they should bring McGarret back as the Governor and Lincoln, Grover, Adam and Quinn overseeing 5-0. I think Danny Was ready to quit anyway. Good job Peter Lenkov for the great surprise
I thought the last two episodes were absolutely amazing and the emotional and happy ending it go was fantastic…thankgod there wasnt a cliffhanger….I hate the tv shows for years back that finished with cliffhangers….but what I’m going to miss about Hawaii 5 O is the sun sea and action and steve danno and the gang
Please bring it back. Every week plot is so different exciting and entertaining. Kudos to the writers. We were able to get to know each member of the cast like a brother or sister. Please shop around with other networks. Bring the show back!!!!
This show is my families favorite show. We are all truly sad to see it ending. I understand that Alex was hurt on set and it is fantastic that he held out this long but the show should not end now. It feels like this show could continue. Lincoln would be a fantastic new lead. There was good chemistry.
Shows like Hawaii 5-O should return because of the quality stories galore over the past 10 years.
The ending was great . I thought it was great that Steve and Kat were finally able to be together. This is the best show ever written and produced. The best group of actors! They all work so well together the Love and respect they have for each other is real you can see it every week. Please please bring it back!!! Let Steve and Kat go on an adventure so he can get some much needed rest. Then let him come back to visit Danny and the team while there visiting 5-0 catches a case and Steve and Kat… Read more »
I would love to see the show picked up by another network. That final scene, esp the appearance of Kathryn, was just so right and so poignant.
I love H5O and everyone in it. It’s not often you find a show that is so good and you feel like you can connect with every character. H5O was that for me. I’m really going to miss it. Miss it already. I say give the cast a rest and bring it back for a limited run in Fall of 2021?
Bring H 5O back! It made Friday nights great
I’ve enjoyed every episode of 5-O in both series and will greatly miss this series. Absolutely, I would like to see it return. I was sharing a tear with the cast at the end because I will miss them all big time. In the meantime, I look forward to OFTEN seeing some/all of the cast interacting with Magnum PI. Bye for now to 5-O – book’em Dan-O!
I have watched the show from the beginning. The stories were great every week. The actors were great and I loved the interactions. The scenery was beautiful on every show. I loved the way it ended and cried along with the cast. When shows are this good we want them to go on forever. You want to explore more strories with the cast. I was shocked to see it was the series finale and not the season finale. Please bring it back!! There are more stories to tell and characters to explore. TV won’t be the same on Fridays without… Read more »
I cried right along with them. I thought it was great, but I certainly will miss the show!!
Please bring it back. If CBS can’t bring it back, I hope Fox 4 would pick it up, like what they did to Last Man Standing.
