“Hawaii Five-0” will return for its eighth season, CBS announced Thursday. The police procedural will return this fall after recently surpassing the 150-episode mark.
The show, which stars Alex O’Loughlin, Grace Park, Daniel Dae Kim, Chi McBride, Scott Caan and Jorge Garcia, continues to do well in the Nielsen ratings. It ranked 12th in prime-time viewership numbers compiled by Nielsen for the week of March 6-12, with nearly 9.2 million viewers tuning in for the March 10 episode (“Five-0” was pre-empted last week by NCAA basketball).
“Five-0” is one of two series renewed by CBS that are helmed by executive producer Peter Lenkov. The other is a reboot of the 1980s hit “MacGyver.”
Lenkov said via email that “we are so grateful that we get to keep making more episodes of (‘Hawaii Five-0’) on our beloved island. We still have a lot more stories for McGarrett, Danny and the rest of our Five-0 Ohana.”
“Hawaii Five-0” airs at
8 p.m. Fridays on CBS. The original “Hawaii Five-O,” starring Jack Lord as Steve McGarrett, aired for 12 seasons from 1968 through 1980 on CBS.
Other shows on the early renewal list include “Blue Bloods,” starring Tom Sel-leck, “Bull,” “Kevin Can Wait,” “Life in Pieces,” “Madam Secretary,” “Man With a Plan,” “Mom,” “NCIS,” “NCIS: Los Angeles,” “NCIS: New Orleans,” “Scorpion,” “Superior Donuts,” “Survivor,” “48 Hours” and “60 Minutes.”
The complete 2017-2018 CBS lineup will be announced May 17 in New York.
