Thomas Magnum is locked and loaded, as the “Magnum P.I.” reboot is heading back to NBC and its accompanying streamer, Peacock, for its fifth season.
After CBS canceled the series back in May 2022, NBC threw the the Jay Hernandez-led show a lifeline after it picked it up to run 20 episodes across two seasons in July 2022. Like the original “Magnum P.I.” — which ran for eight season in 1980s — the series is centered on Thomas Magnum, a private investigator living in Hawaii.
In the CBS reboot, Magnum’s story changes just a bit, with him now being a military veteran who returns from Afghanistan and repurposes his skills to use as a private investigator in Hawaii.
In Season 5, Magnum and Juliet Higgins contemplate whether it’s a good or bad idea to pursue a romantic relationship with one another. In the meantime, Rick (Zachary Knighton) juggles being a new father and running La Mariana and Katsumoto (Tim Kang) tries to figure out his next move.
NBC and USA will run back-to-back episodes Sunday, Feb. 19. The second episode of the fifth season will air right after.
