Magnum PI has been cancelled for a second time, and members of the cast and writers for the NBC drama are speaking out.
The network saved the series and produced one more season of 20 episodes following its cancellation by CBS last year. The fifth season is being split across two broadcast years and the final 10 episodes are expected to air in early 2024.
Jay Hernandez, Perdita Weeks, Zachary Knighton, Stephen Hill, Amy Hill, and Tim Kang star in the reboot of the popular 1980s series, which follows Thomas Magnum and his team investigating crimes in Hawaii.
Members of the cast and the writers shared their thoughts about NBC canceling Magnum PI on social media.

What do you think? Will you be sad to see Magnum PI come to a close? Were you hoping for a sixth season of the series on NBC?
This breaks my heart. My favorite show.
Very sorry to see this show cancelled. It’s a good show but it always seems these Networks cancel the good ones. Maybe someone else will pick it up??
