Will ‘Magnum P.I.’ Get a Season 5? Jay Hernandez Isn’t Worried (VIDEO)
What could possibly come between private investigators Thomas Magnum (Jay Hernandez) and Juliet Higgins (Perdita Weeks) in Friday’s Season 4 finale of Magnum P.I.? Plenty, since the CBS series has a habit of leaving us wanting more in the romance department for the two business partners. “Something always has to,” Hernandez says with a laugh. “In my mind, they can’t end up together—not yet. If they do, that means it’s the end of the show!” That said, the actor did share that the finale shifts to Magnum’s perspective of the relationship, which is a refreshing change: We’ve spent much of this season examining the situation from Higgins’ point of view—for example, in the dreams she’s been having about Magnum.
In the episode, the case of the week falls on HPD detective Gordon Katsumoto (Tim Kang) when his ex-wife is kidnapped. The normally by-the-book law enforcer may have to cross some unimaginable lines. “I think what happens is going to bleed into next season and you may see a completely different version of Detective Katsumoto, which I’m very excited about,” Hernandez teases.
On a happier note, the baby is finally coming for bar owner Rick (Zachary Knighton) and Suzy (Betsy Phillips, Knighton’s real-life wife). “It’s strange because developing concurrent with this child being born, they don’t really have a relationship totally,” Hernandez explains.
During the chat, the actor also talked about directing the “Shallow Grave, Deep Water” episode that aired April 8. Hernandez added he’s confident the reboot will get a fifth season even though it has yet to officially be picked up. “You can take that to the bank!”

Magnum P.I. is a wonderful, awesome and enjoyable show with very talented actors! I Always looked forward to watching this great series and I CANNOT UNDERSTAND what's wrong with CBS for Canceling such a Good Show! The developing relationships of Rick and Suzy, plus Rick become a dad; Magnum a humorous yet diligent investigator, Higgins a beautiful ex-MI6 Agent with a lovely British accent & a friend to all; Gordie & his friendship with each other & the rest of the cast; Cade's story and the developing relationship with all of the other actors and the roles each played as well as the dynamic relationships of the 3 veteran former Seals & best friends, mixed with Magnum's detective skills & Julia Higgins, ex-MI6 agent & investigator who also enjoyed solving the mysteries with(Hernandez) a gorgeously handsome, humorous ex-military investigator.Always a Pleasure to watch & my Daughter also loved this series! Absolutely Thoroughly Enjoyable show with its diverse Cast, each so good; Hernandez(Magnum), & Higgins also were developing a possible & hopefully romantic relationship with each other Finally! Wow, that developing role; ever intriguing, & long-awaited romantic multi-directional storyline had all the necessary materials for a really awesome, multi-directional storyline. Fun show, Clean-cut, diverse stories within other stories. Magnum & Higgins romance would've provided a great story; So many other future stories ahead IF the writers only knew:CBS has disappointed many!

I am still in shock about the cancellation of Magnum P.I. This is a really bad decision made by CBS. This was one of their best shows and my favorite show. I am really upset by this decision and was looking forward to Season 5 and for the show to continue for many more years. You can keep your Reality Shows, etc. which I consider crap tv. I wouldn't waste my time on any of them. But, a really good show with talented, likeable characters, you cancel. It blows my mind that CBS could be so stupid or is it political. Whatever the reason, it was a very bad decision. I am done watching CBS and really hope another Network airs Magnum P.I., so the show can continue where it left off. I don't know if this will happen, but I pray that it does. It was an all around great show and should have never been canceled.

Interview is now a tad heart-breaking hearing his confidence and seeing it being all for not as CBS and Universal couldn't find a way to keep a top-20 rated show on the air. Really feel for the cast and crew who created a show that under normal circumstances would have been a shoo-in for renewal and likely do get a proper send-off since they assumed they'd be back for a S5.
