Magnum P.I. fans longing to revisit the contemporary reboot’s first four seasons should get ready to say aloha to Freevee, Amazon’s free streaming hub.
Seasons 1 through 4 of the Jay Hernandez and Perdita Weeks-led island drama will hit Freevee on Friday, Sept. 1, ending a long stretch during which those episodes were unavailable to stream anywhere. (NBC’s streaming sister, Peacock, only hosts the current and final season, No. 5.)

The second half of that fifth and final season — which was filmed long ago and was originally slated to not bow until early 2024 — instead will premiere on NBC on Oct. 4, airing Wednesdays at 10/9c (following new episodes of Quantum Leap, which got a jumpstart on Season 2 prior to the dual strikes).
As reported in late June, NBC — which stepped up to save Magnum after its CBS run got cut short after four seasons — opted not to order additional episodes beyond the second, 10-episode half of Season 5, given that cast options expire June 30 and no end to the Hollywood writers’ strike is in sight.

I will take any form of streaming.
I LOVE THE SHOW AND HATE TO SEE IT GO!
I’M NOT SURE WHAT THE REASON IS FOR CANCELING SUCH A WONDERFUL SHOW. THE SHOT’S OF HAWAIIAN MOUNTAINS AND WATERFALLS THAT MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE TO THA PUBLIC NOW! TOO BAD THERE’S A STRIKE GOING ON I’D LOVE TO SEE IT COME BACK 😭
Glad to see it going on Freevee. I’ve already watched it so I wouldn’t pay for a service to watch again but now I’ll end up watching it when I’m not subscribed to any services(like I am now). The ads also don’t bother me.
So it is another victim of the strike?
?
“… opted not to order additional episodes beyond the second, 10-episode half of Season 5, given that cast options expire June 30 and no end to the Hollywood writers’ strike is in sight.”
I was referring to the show, not to the streaming option. Sorry, I should have made that clearer.
No. The ratings weren’t as high as NBC had hoped. But at least fans get another 20 more episodes.
I think it is only 10 now. . The first 10 aired in the spring. Maybe Freevee will save it like they did other series. There should be a write in campaign to Freevee.
All I wanna know is… Where can I stream me some OG Magnum P.I. ? That show was an absolute classic.
It’s also on Freevee:

The series is starting again here in Canada on Vision TV on Monday the 28th of August. It’s starting with the first episode…Don’t eat the snow in Hawaii.
Magnum is/was a great show. I wish another channel or streaming app would pick it up for a season 6.
Magnum P.I. is my favorite show. How do I get Freevee?
Do you have a smart TV? It’s an app like Peacock, Netflix, Hulu. Just download and use, you don’t even need an account.
If you don’t have a smart TV, you can stream it on your computer or other devices without an Amazon Prime account, but you do need an Amazon account for your PC or download the Amazon app for other devices.
I will miss Magnum I love the show and this is the only prime show with a Latino as the starting role
Except for WILL TRENT, LOPEZ VS. LOPEZ, THE CLEANING LADY, FANTASY ISLAND, NOT DEAD YET, CHICAGO P.D., STATION 19, etc.
Jason Beghe is Latino? He’s indisputably the lead on Chicago PD.
Elodie Yung (Cleaning Lady) is French/Cambodian
While they may all be actors, Jaina Lee Ortiz is a LatinA
There is no lead on CPD; it’s an ensemble show. And gender makes no difference. I’ll give you Yung, but she’s playing a Latino, so that counts for something, and much of the rest of the cast is authentically Latino. But the operative point remains the same: MAGNUM is not the only broadcast series with a Latino lead. (Don’t get me started on cable and streaming. MANDALORIAN and ANDOR, anyone?)
How about TV ads I have not seen a national TV ads with Latinos only balcks and whites.
That’s a completely different topic, but about ten times a day I see a Golden Corral ad with a Latino family who tease grandpa about being from Miami. And weird part: There isn’t a Golden Corral within 50 miles of where I live!
Fantasy Island was not renewed.
Doesn’t matter. It was airing at the same time as MAGNUM. Which also wasn’t renewed.
Screaming out loud why magnum pi,take a pay cut try something anything just bring it
What a great show, I hope some other channel or network picks up the show for a season 6. Save Magnum P.I.!!!
I doubt it. Getting saved once was a miracle, saved twice, probably not gonna happen. No matter how much we want more & like the article says, cast options expired on June 30th, which means they are no longer under contract & free to move on.
I just finished watching Magnum PI Seasons 1-4 on Amazon Prime. It cost $19.95 each season but I didn’t mind paying for that. I don’t know anything about FreeVee. Is it free all of the time?
Amazon owns Freevee so you should be able to watch it. Download the Freevee app on your TV or PC or smartphone.
Now only Snowpiercer to find home for final season and we are happy!
Someone needs to save this show!!! They’re putting more and more of these crappy reality shows on air. No one I know would even consider watching them! Great shows like this are becoming a thing of the past and I don’t know why!!! Someone please step in and save this show that has a little bit of everything. 🤞🤞
I’ve thought for years they need a reality network for all, and I do mean all these so called shows.
I agree Magnum PI is a good show and we should keep shows like this one.
Also does anyone see a problem with inly blacks and whites on TV ads? There should be a combination of all ethic groups living here in the US because we are all from all different parts of the world.
.
I am at a loss for words….😭💔 season 5. Just when it was going so well. Would’ve loved seeing a wedding happening, TC finally having the family he deserved and Rick too. The rest of the gang finding happiness as well.
There are still 10 episodes left to air. (The second half of that fifth and final season — which was filmed long ago and was originally slated to not bow until early 2024 — instead will premiere on NBC on Oct. 4, airing Wednesdays at 10/9c)
Thank You 👍
I’m very upset a great series you just dropped rather see it compared to watch some that you have on
I love Magnum PI and what the show brings to TV. It’s as real as you can get it and the cast is amazing. I would strongly urge the CBS admin., to rethink their decision for a 6 season for Magnum. Now a days, you can’t find quality shows like that anymore. Thank you.
Most CBS ( check local listings) stations
air repeats of the current MAGNUM interation weekends after the late local news.
Wish Magnum PI was coming back. Love scripted shows and refuse to watch any reality shows. They are stupid and geared not for seniors.
Y’all always messing with something leave things alone that was my show Can y’all please bring it back everything good goes away
This is happening alot lately where shows are now on streaming channels which I can get in Canada and have to pay seperate to get them.
I would definitely like to see the Magnum PI reboot series continue, beyond season 5. I find the show entertaining with the current cast. I liked the old Magnum PI series, with Tom Selleck and crew, but this new reboot series is a refreshing change and should be continued.
I don’t understand why magnum is being cancelled its a great show .I guess not Hollywood enough running out of descent shows to watch.
Just hoping this is the final end of to a horrible reboot. Hopefully, soon Hollywood will come up with something more original even if it has to go to AI to write for them. No cast could ever replace the original Magnum PI. No disrespect to Jay Hernandez and Perdita Weeks, but the original series should have never been reboot and these two actors should have been given their own original show.
I love magnum pi. Why is everyone canceling it and bringing it back. Such bs. Ao tired of this. Keep it and keep where ppl don’t have to pay for it
Pick up this Show been watching all 4 1/2 seasons love da way Magnum and Higgins work to together ❤️ Beautiful background scene
