Perdita Weeks Latest Celebrity News & Gossip

Jay Hernandez is giving a shout out to Magnum P.I. fans after the show was saved from cancellation.

NBC has canceled Magnum P.I. and the show starring Jay Hernandez and Perdita Weeks will end following Season 5 Part 2.

It’s over for Magnum, P.I., again.

Selome Hailu “Magnum P.I.” is coming to a close at NBC. The drama series, which was canceled by CBS last year before NBC picked it up, will not continue past the upcoming second part of Season 5. The decision not to order a sixth season comes past the 50-day mark of the WGA strike and a potential strike by SAG-AFTRA after the actors union’s contract with the AMPTP expires on June 30. That date coincides with the end of the “Magnum P.I.” cast’s deals at NBC. Therefore, to avoid cancelling the show, NBC would have had to either order more episodes without knowing when they could enter production or extend the actors’ deals to prolong the decision-making period. Ultimately, opted to release the actors and move forward without “Magnum P.I.” on its slate.

spices things up on Sunday's episode, titled «Dead Ringer,» when Magnum (Jay Hernandez) and Higgins' (Perdita Weeks) secret romance is on the precipice of becoming public knowledge as team members begin to suspect they may be up to some extracurricular activities. ET exclusively premieres a sneak peek from the hour, which kicks things off with Magnum and Higgins enjoying a very domestic morning at home on a rare off day. With nowhere to go and no cases to solve (yet), Magnum floats the idea that they stay home instead of going out for the day to, ahem, get a little frisky in the bedroom.At that exact moment, Rick (Zachary Knighton) storms in and is caught off-guard seeing Magnum and Higgins together.

The CBS series Magnum P.I. has been saved!

Fans weren’t exactly happy with CBS after the network decided to cancel Magnum P.I. just after the fourth season finale last month, where a very important moment between Magnum and Juliet happened.

CBS has canceled "Magnum P.I." after four seasons.The fourth season concluded May 6, an episode that will stand as the show’s finale. The show was filmed and based in Hawaii and is one of four programs the network canceled, it said in an announcement Thursday. "How We Roll," "B Positive" and "Good Sam" were also cut.

The case of Magnum P.I. has closed on CBS, leaving the creative minds and the cast of the reboot series feeling bittersweet about its cancellation.

CBS is not proceeding with a fifth season of Magnum P.I. With Bull announcing in January that its current sixth season will be its last, Magnum P.I. is the most established CBS series to be canceled this season. As a Top 25 show in total viewers, it also may be the most watched broadcast series to get the axe this upfront season.
