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.
Magnum PI has been renewed for a second season which will debut September 27, 2019. Stay tuned for further updates.
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.

good and entertaining,
many likeable characters. I’m looking forward to season 2
I love this show. Magnum is great and Higgins is awesome.
Boring! A real nothing of a show without the character, charm, and humor of the original. Oh- and did I say boring?
I love this show too! I look forward to it every week
Boring! A real nothing of a show. Boring and without the character, charm, and humor of the original. Oh- did I say boring?
Wow really people, Jay Hernandez playing iconic Magnum P.I. You mean to tell me the studio couldnt find a more statuesque actor a more believable actor to play an ex Navy Seal. Jay is like a frat boy, the role calls for a man not a boy. What a shame. Tom Selkeck has got to be embarrassed.
Love the show ! Jay Hernandez is a great actor ! Stories are well written !
Love the show!
I love the show. Jay Hernandez is super hot!!! love the show
I love the new Magnum P.I. reboot. Jay and Perdita are dynamite together. The entire cast is awesome. The writing and directing are also top-notch. Please give us more!
The show is awesome don’t cancel it
Love Magnum PI. It is quite different from the original with Tom Selleck, but love the connection between the characters. Quite refreshing.
I love this show. Don’t cancel it.
I loved the original and I love the new version.There are so many new possibilities for the new direction.Please renew!!!!!!!!!!
Please cancel this travesty of a show. Its total trash compared to the original.
Please don’t cancel the show!! It has an awesome cast. The episodes are interesting. This show has potential.
I totally like Magnum. Every show doesn’t have to be a knockout to enjoy. Sometimes we like to know what is going on without blood and guts and Super Heroes. I like Magnum and my favourite tv show in 60 years is Dexter.
