Crossovers
Despite Hawaii Five-0 ending in 2020, Larry Manetti is still set to make a guest appearance in an episode of the season as his Hawaii Five-0 character, Nicky "The Kid" DeMarco, after previously making a guest appearance in the second season of Magnum P.I.[20]
Production
Development
On May 12, 2022, six days after the conclusion of the fourth season, Magnum P.I. was canceled by CBS.[21] However, on May 23, 2022, it was reported by TVLine that Universal Television was trying to shop the series around.[22] Ten days later, Deadline Hollywood reported that talks were underway for the series to potentially be carried by NBC and/or USA. Such a move would require a deal with CBS Studios by June 30, 2022, when the cast members' options on their contracts end.[23] By June 10, Production Weekly reported a fifth season to be in "active development", though with no network attached to the listing.[24] On June 30, 2022, NBC officially picked up the series for 20 episodes, initially to be split over two 10-episode seasons, with the option for more episodes. At the time, it was reported that the executive producers would return and CBS Studios and Universal TV would continue to co-produce the series.[25] It was later clarified that the twenty episodes would be split as a two-part fifth season rather than into two separate seasons.[26] On June 23, 2023, it was announced that the fifth season would be its last.[27]
Filming and writing
On July 4, 2022, it was reported by TVLine that production on the season would begin in late 2022.[28] Filming began on September 19, 2022, with a traditional Hawaiian blessing.[29] The season is being written at the same time as the sixth season.[30]
Casting
With the renewal in June 2022, it was expected that all six cast members would return.[25] On October 3, 2022, it was reported by TVLine that Michael Rady has been cast in a recurring role as HPD Detective Chris Childs, debuting in the season premiere.[31] Returning guest stars for the season include Emily Alana and Martin Martinez.[32][33]
Release
In July 2022, it was reported that the season was not likely to premiere until January 2023 at the earliest.[28] In November 2022, it was announced that the season would premiere on February 19, 2023. The season airs on Sundays at 9:00 PM ET. It follows Dateline NBC and leads into the tenth and final season of The Blacklist.[34][26] The season premiered with two back-to-back episodes.[26] Each episode is available to stream on Peacock the day after it airs on NBC.[35] The final two episodes were set to air in late-December 2023 but were pushed to early-2024 to fill in gaps left by the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike.[36] The series ended on January 3, 2024.[37]
