Magnum PI season 5: How could it lead into season 6?
For the sake of this article, we’re actually going to look a little past season 5 and towards the second batch of episodes coming our way. With this one in particular, there’s a lot to think about here, and flexibility could be the name of the game.
Premiere date – Season 5, for those unaware, is going to launch at some point in midseason — which could be any point from January to March. We know that the relative lack of details on that is a little frustrating, but this is just what NBC is giving us for the time being. (Also, we’re just happy to have a show.) If season 5 turns out to be a big surprise ratings-wise, there’s a chance that it could launch fall 2023 if some of the episodes are ready.
Episode count – Like we said, it is currently set for ten. However, we wouldn’t be shocked if more episodes are ordered / tacked onto this order, once again, if the numbers turn out well. It’s a little harder to change up season 5, given that much of it could be filmed before the show even premieres.
When will it film? – This is the great unknown. We wouldn’t be shocked if it and season 5 filmed relatively close to each other, if not back to back.
The most important thing to remember
NBC would love nothing more than for season 6 to not be the final season — just by picking up Magnum PI alone, they’ve shown a great deal of enthusiasm for getting it back on the air. It’s all going to be up to the viewers, but the network can of course help it with a great timeslot and the right spot for promotion. We’ve appreciated what we have seen so far from the network, but there is more work that needs to be done!
