Retirement early for the most famous flower shirt investigator on television. The American channel CBS announced the cancellation of Magnum, along with Jay Hernandez, at the end of the 4th season, which ended on May 6 across the Atlantic.
The Magnum shutdown is quite unexpected as the 80s cult series reboot with Tom Selek again attracted an average of 7.4 million viewers on the D + 7 in the United States this season, from 18-49 to 0.7. Which was only a small drop from Season 3, which gained 7.5 million subscribers in 2020-21.
Conducted an interview in April TVLineJay Hernandez was also very confident in the chances of getting Magnum for the fifth season. “The numbers are very good, the series is selling well internationally. So, yes, we can bet on an upgrade.”Explained Thomas Magnum, translator. “CBS is happy with the series. They liked this season”.
According to DeadlineThe end of the series is partly due to the long and difficult negotiations between CBS and Universal Television, which produces Magnum. And which ultimately failed for financial reasons (the channel sought to reduce the cost of broadcasting for a possible 5th season).
Spoiler warning!
Fans of the Hawaii-based crime series may have a hard time getting the news as the finale of the fourth season, which aired on CBS a few days ago, ended with a scene in which Thomas Magnum and Julieta Higgins (Perdita Vix) finally kissed. Higgins confessed his feelings to his shocking partner.
A kiss that could have led to the possibility of multiple stories to continue, especially since the two characters in the series did not want to ruin the friendship before kissing.
Magnum joins B Positive, Bull, Good Sam, How We Roll and United States of Al among the canceled series by CBS that will not return to air for the new season at the beginning of the school year.
Fortunately, fans of detective fiction can always get back to the NCIS and FBI franchises, all of which have been updated. As well as SWAT, which will be eligible for the 6th season.
The fourth and final season of Magnum in France is still unreleased on TF1.
