CBS chose not to renew “Magnum, P.I.” for another season, and the network’s entertainment president told TheWrap saying goodbye to the series was a tough call.
“Every year, there’s a couple of tough ones, and this was one of them,” CBS’ Kelly Kahl said. “There’s rarely a single factor. More often than not has to do with how is the complete schedule affected by what we do? Can we find room for new shows? Where can we maybe find some growth? And as you know, unfortunately, ‘Magnum’ came out on the short end. It’s a show we all loved and it was definitely one of the heartbreaker decisions we had to make.
