CBS is planning a Magnum P.I. reboot with the producer who revived Hawaii Five-0 and MacGyver

The Hollywood Reporter

Producer Peter Lenkov is being asked again to revive another classic TV series, this one based on the 1980s Tom Selleck Hawaii-set drama. With CBS spending big bucks on the pilot, the updated version of Magnum P.I. follows Thomas Magnum as a former Navy SEAL (like the original series) who returns home from Afghanistan and uses his skills as a private investigator. Selleck isn’t attached to the reboot. But since he’s already connected to CBS via Blue Bloods, it wouldn’t be surprising if he made a cameo. ALSO: ABC tried a female Magnum P.I. sequel last year.
