Jay Hernandez may soon have to wear Detective Thomas Magnum cult Hawaii T-shirts again. Although Magnum PI was scrapped by CBS in May last year after 4 seasons, NBC would definitely be ready to reset the cult series of the 80s, according to exclusive information. Deadline.
If nothing has been confirmed so far, discussions are underway to enable the American Channel and / or USA Network to broadcast the series. Also according to American media, NBC could offer new episodes on its antenna while broadcasting previous seasons on USA Network.
Following the sudden cancellation of Magnum, Universal Television, which co-produced the series with CBS Studios, reportedly began exploring multiple possibilities to save the show.
And yet, according to Deadline, the discussions would be at an advanced stage. All parties have until the end of the month to reach an agreement, the contract options for the actors of the series expire on June 30th.
Magnum PI is one of the flagship dramas of Universal Television, with a rerun of the studio’s top 25 most-watched shows. That was why the announcement of its termination in May last year came as a surprise, as the series still attracted an average of 7.4 million viewers on D + 7 in the United States this season, up 0.7 from 18-49.
It was canceled after lengthy negotiations between CBS and Universal Television as the channel sought to reduce the cost of airing a possible 5th season.
If the deal was signed, Magnum would join a long list of canceled series that were eventually saved by another chain. Already in 2018, Sitcom Brooklyn Nine-Nine had a second life on NBC after being canceled by Fox. Recently, the drama series Manifest appeared on Netflix after being canceled by NBC.
Surviving Magnum PI would obviously be good news for fans of the series, who were frustrated that they had no right to a real ending, with the announcement of its cancellation dropped after the last episode of Season 4 aired.
The fourth and final season of Magnum in France is still unreleased on TF1.
