Production[edit]
Development[edit]
On October 20, 2017, CBS announced a pilot commitment for a remake of the original series to be written by Peter M. Lenkov and Eric Guggenheim. The pilot would be co-produced by CBS Studios and Universal Television, the latter of which holds the rights to the original series.[13] In February 2018, CBS announced that pilot production had been greenlit. Justin Lin was set to direct.[14][15]
On May 11, 2018, the network picked up the series.[16] Co-creator and executive producer Peter M. Lenkov will serve as the showrunner. On May 16, 2018, CBS released a first video trailer for new series. The pilot episode was aired as a special preview prior to the series San Diego Comic-Con panel.[17]
On July 19, 2018, Lenkov announced that multiple crossovers have been planned with the ninth season of Hawaii Five-0. Lenkov confirmed that Kimee Balmilero and Taylor Wily will make guest appearances as their Hawaii Five-0 characters, medical examiner Noelani Cunha and entrepreneur Kamekona Tupuola respectively. Balmilero is set to appear in episode one while Wily is set to appear in episode two. Meanwhile, Alex O'Loughlin's character, Steve McGarrett, is set to cross paths with Hernandez's character later in the season.[18][19]
On Wednesday, August 22, 2018, with the anticipated landfall of Hurricane Lane, a Category 4 hurricane, in Hawaii CBS reported that they "were closely monitoring the situation" but that production would continue as planned.[20][21] The following day CBS temporarily shut down production of both Magnum P.I. and Hawaii Five-0 until further notice.[22][23]
Casting[edit]
On February 20, 2018, Jay Hernandez was announced as the new Magnum.[24] It was announced on March 2, 2018 that Perdita Weeks will play Juliet Higgins.[25] According to a May 16, 2018 announcement, Magnum's best friend from U.S. Marines, Rick Wright, will be portrayed by Zachary Knighton.[26] Three days later, it was announced that another one of Magnum's friends, Theodore "T.C." Calvin, will be played by Stephen Hill.[27] On July 20, 2018, it was announced that Tim Kang would join the cast as Honolulu PD detective Gordon Katsumoto, who will develop a friendly rivalry with Magnum as they work cases.[28] Finally, it was announced on July 25, 2018 that Amy Hill had been cast in a recurring role.[29] Hill and Kang both debuted in the series' third episode.
Filming[edit]
Following production of the pilot earlier in the year, filming for the first season began on July 23, 2018 with a traditional Hawaiian blessing.[30]
Reception[edit]
Critical response[edit]
Magnum P.I. has been met with mixed reviews. On review aggregation Rotten Tomatoes, the series holds an approval rating of 53% with an average rating of 5.88/10, based on 15 reviews. The website's critical consensus reads, "The rebooted Magnum P.I. may not be quite distinctive enough to hold up to comparisons with its source material, but a charismatic star, slickly staged action, and a handful of modern twists hint at greater potential."[31] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the series a score of 47 out of 100 based on 16 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews."[32]
