What’s This TV Show About?
A CBS detective drama, Magnum PI is an updated reboot of the 1980s Tom Selleck vehicle. The new action-adventure series stars Jay Hernandez, Perdita Weeks, Zachary Knighton, Stephn Hill, Tim Kang, and Amy Hill. It centers on former Navy SEAL Thomas Magnum (Hernandez), who is back from Afghanistan and working as a private investigator. Magnum lives in a guest cottage on the Robin’s Nest estate in Oahu, where he also serves as security consultant. With his team at the ready, a vintage Ferrari at his disposal, and his trademark aviator sunglasses, Magnum is always ready to crack the next case.
Season One Ratings
The first season of Magnum PI averaged a 0.89 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 5.99 million viewers. Find out how Magnum PI stacks up against the other CBS TV shows.
Telly’s Take
Will CBS cancel or renew Magnum PI for season two? Considering how many people tuned out after watching the premiere of lead-in Young Sheldon, things didn’t look good, right from the start. The numbers have declined since then but I think CBS really wants to renew Magnum for a second season so they’ll give it every chance they can (including ordering a full first season). I’ll keep an eye on the Nielsens and update this page with breaking developments. Subscribe for free Magnum PI cancellation or renewal alerts.

What do you think? Are you glad that CBS has renewed the Magnum PI TV show for season two? Would you have been upset if they had cancelled it instead?
Enjoyed the show and would be upset if it’s cancelled
Enjoyed this show tremendously
Fantastic cast with great combination. The writers have also done a good job with lots of variety. Thanks for another great show !
I love the new Magnum. But I never know from week to week if it’s gonna be on. The disrespect CBS shows to both the show and it’s viewers with all the preemptions and time changes is monumental. I hope CBS will allow the show to settle in to a normal schedule for it’s next season.

I just don’t understand the way you think when you cancel the show Magnum PI the rookie so far great shows love them you could takeoff wouldn’t care but look forward to those shows wish there were more
So happy to see that Magnum will be back soon, love the show.
Fabulous show! Wonderful actors! Love the interaction between Higgins and Magnum! A Keeper!
GAWD AWFUL remake. Must everything be reduced to CW-like production values so the kids will watch? Flush this one.
Did not think would like the remake. But have enjoyed as much as the original. Better story lines more emotion. Keep series.
Really good spinoff from the original with a bit more story line to it.
Great show! Love the scenery! Love the writing! Love the acting! For the dysfunctional bores out there! Get a life! Why would you want to compare one series against another! It is entertainment not a competition!
Brilliant series, couldn’t have asked for a better version, even better than the previous Magnum PI. Characters all play a good part. This series is a family series, and teaches us how to treat our close friends and families, apart from that, it teaches us how to behave in the real world. It would be a real shame if this series was cancelled.
Love the show. Very likable and interesting characters. So excited for season 2
