NBC’s “Magnum PI” Stars Perdita Weeks & Stephen Hill are beyond sad about the recent cancellation news!
The two took to Instagram to share their thoughts.
Perdita shared:
“After one hell of an encore it’s time for us at Magnum PI to ride off into the sunset. Thank you so much for all the support and huge thanks to the whole cast and crew for half a decade of fun. Mahalo nui loa ❤️”
Stephen shared:
“I’ve had tears of joy in a headlock from day one! And don’t you forget it!
😂💪🏿
Grateful for @cbstv
@nbc@nbcuniversal for giving us the opportunity to shine our light upon so many of you. I’m grateful in advance for all the networks that will allow you to bring us into your hearts and homes in the future. I love watching episodes of the O.G. Magnum, P.I. and although sadly, some of those cast members are no longer with us physically, they still make me smile big, cry, and laugh. I was only 4 years old when that show 1st aired, but here I am loving it so many years later. I sincerely hope im around to pass the torch to a 3rd T.C. the way Roger E. Mosley did for me. I still don’t think many understand how significantly profound it is that such a trailblazer for black actors took me under his wing and empowered me the way he did. That is one of the many reasons this will be one of the most special milestones of my career/life. I thank God we both had the grace, humility, and sensitivity to see the importance of that connection. “If you think you’re in a bad funk, you need to turn on some good funk!” – Booky @magnumpi I love my cast and crew, and we love you! #MPEyes ❤️💪🏿🤙🏿✊🏿”
We’re hoping the show can find it’s way to Netflix!
MAGNUM P.I. is a modern take on the classic series centering on Thomas Magnum, a decorated former Navy SEAL who, upon returning home from Afghanistan, repurposes his military skills to become a private investigator. A charming rogue, an American hero and a die-hard Detroit Tigers fan, Magnum lives in a guest cottage on Robin’s Nest, the luxurious estate where he works as a security consultant to supplement his P.I. business. The “majordomo” of the property is Juliet Higgins, a beautiful and commanding disavowed MI:6 agent whose second job is to keep Magnum in line, with the help of her two Dobermans. When Magnum needs back-up on a job, he turns to his trusted buddies and fellow POW survivors, Theodore “TC” Calvin, a former Marine chopper pilot who runs Island Hoppers, a helicopter tour business, and Orville “Rick” Wright, a former Marine door-gunner-turned-impresario of Oahu’s coolest nightclub and the most connected man on the island. Suspicious of Magnum’s casual attitude and presence at his crime scenes, Detective Gordon Katsumoto finds that he and Magnum are more alike than either of them care to admit. One of Magnum’s biggest supporters is Teuila “Kumu” Tuileta, the unofficial “House Mom” and cultural curator of Robin’s Nest. With keys to a vintage Ferrari in one hand, aviator sunglasses in the other, and an Old Düsseldorf longneck chilling in the fridge, Thomas Magnum is back on the case!
