‘Magnum P.I.’ Bombshell: Is Higgins Pregnant? (VIDEO)
Jay Hernandez‘s Thomas Magnum is putting it all on the line in the final episodes of Magnum P.I., which returns for the second half of Season 5 on October 4 at 9 pm on NBC.
The network has released the first official teaser (watch below) for the upcoming episodes, which promises more car chases, shoot-outs, fist fights, and explosions. “Doing what I do is risky,” Magnum says in the clip as we see him jumping from a rooftop.
But it’s not all punching and shooting; the trailer dramatically teases a potential pregnancy. “When you least expect it, everything can change,” Magnum says before we see a scene of Juliet Higgins (Perdita Weeks) telling the ex-Navy SEAL, “Thomas… I’m late.” The camera then fleetingly cuts to Magnum, who seems more stunned than elated. So what’s the truth….is Higgins pregnant, and how will Magnum react? We’ll just have to wait to find out. Check out the teaser and let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
Magnum P.I. is a modern reboot of the classic series centering on Thomas Magnum, a decorated former Navy SEAL who returns home from Afghanistan and repurposes his military skills to become a private investigator. Described as a charming rogue, an American hero, and a die-hard Detroit Tigers fan, Magnum lives in a cottage on Robin’s Nest, where he works as a security consultant alongside his P.I. business.
In addition to Hernandez and Weeks, the cast includes Zachary Knighton as Orville “Rick” Wright, Amy Hill as Teuila “Kumu” Tuileta, Tim Kang as Gordon Katsumoto, and Stephen Hill as Theodore “T.C” Calvin.
The show is executive-produced by Eric Guggenheim, John Davis, Justin Lin, John Fox, Barbie Kligman, David Wolkove, and Gene Hong.
It was reported in June that Magnum P.I. will come to an end at NBC after Season 5 Part 2. The show previously aired on CBS for four seasons before being canceled. However, fans are holding out hope that the show will be saved, especially as the original four seasons are now airing on Amazon’s free streaming service Freevee.

Love this! I don’t think she will be pregnant but it will definitely open the conversation between the characters which would be a must for their relationship. I don’t think they should bring a pregnancy to the characters only because of how dangerous their work is but I could see it being done if they go with the understanding that they have a larger Ohana that would be there for them. But getting her pregnant, we would miss out on too much Higgy action in the show. I say they just play with Joy when they need a baby fix. Great topic though.

Agreed, it's overdone. Besides, Isn't it a little soon in their relationship to be giving Magnum and Higgins a baby? That seems so fast. Why are the writers moving at warp speed?

I love it. That storyline might help bring a 6th season. Do what every it takes.

Unplanned pregnancies in 2023 is not the kind of storyline I like. I can’t imagine a character like Juliet would be pregnant without wanting to be with a willing partner.
