Magnum P.I. solely simply returned within the 2023 TV schedule in October, and the present is rapidly working out of episodes of the fifth and ultimate season. In truth, after going off the air for an additional week because of NBC scheduling, a grand complete of 5 episodes are left earlier than the ultimate credit roll. So, as I spent a Wednesday evening with out seeing Thomas Magnum, Juliet Higgins, and the remaining in motion, I noticed that there are nonetheless a number of questions that want solutions earlier than the top.
In truth, numerous these questions had been ones that I used to be already asking following the nerve-wracking Season 5 spring finale and forward of the Season 5B premiere. I had no fewer than 9, and whereas some have been answered – like whether or not Rick and Suzy would get again collectively – and others are not related, I am nonetheless ready on a number of of the others after some latest twists. So, let us take a look at the questions which are working out of time to be resolved!
What New Character Was Jay Hernandez Speaking About?
After I spoke with main man Jay Hernandez again within the spring previous to the recently-resolved SAG-AFTRA strike, he previewed one thing mysterious for the second half of Season 5: a personality who comes into Magnum’s life and “goes to be inflicting him loads of issues for numerous episodes, and even additional into the present” if Magnum P.I. was picked up for a sixth season. At my depend, there are solely 5 episodes left and no character who I feel matches Hernandez’s teaser, so I ask once more: who is that this character who is meant to trigger issues?!
How A lot Will T.C. Get better?
Technically, I used to be questioning about whether or not Stephen Hill’s character would ever stroll once more once I first beginning questioning about Season 5B, however I feel there’s nonetheless the query of how a lot he’ll recuperate emotionally in addition to phsyically. Mahina broke up with him in the newest episode because of his habits after he was hospitalized, and it will considerably defy perception if he is actually 100% bodily recovered. I simply wish to know if T.C. will get a contented ending, dang it!
Will Higgins Be Pregnant?
The potential of a bun within the oven for Higgins was teased within the promos for Season 5B. Whereas I had my doubts that Magnum P.I. would begin the autumn season with such an enormous change for the character, the decision of the being pregnant scare story very a lot left the door open for her and Magnum to start out a household. Then, they’d a vital dialog about youngsters not too lengthy after. I did not suppose Higgins can be pregnant to start out Season 5B, however I am prepared to noticeably contemplate if she will probably be within the collection finale… or at the very least, if she and Magnum will determine to start out attempting.
Will Magnum P.I. Be Rescued For The Second Time?
A query that has undoubtedly been on the minds of many Magnum P.I. followers ever for the reason that information of the cancellation that turns the Season 5 finale into the collection finale. In spite of everything, the present was cancelled by CBS earlier than being saved by NBC; might one other save be in retailer? Effectively, showrunner Eric Guggenheim’s feedback aren’t too promising on that entrance, though he did additionally preview that the fifth season is not going to finish on a cliffhanger. Nonetheless, one other rescue hasn’t been dominated out.
Personally, my dream is for the present to be renewed for at the very least a four-episode mini sixth season in order that Magnum P.I. can hit the 100-episode milestone episode as a substitute of ending endlessly at a complete of 96. After I spoke with Jay Hernandez within the spring, he was optimistic about making it to 100, however that was sadly earlier than the WGA writers strike and SAG-AFTRA actors strike put the leisure trade on maintain. Is that this doubtless? Possibly not, however I am going to simply maintain onto hope till I do know in any other case.
For now, we are able to solely wait and see if these questions that I am nonetheless asking will probably be answered earlier than the very finish. Magnum P.I. returns to NBC’s 9 p.m. ET time slot on Wednesdays with a brand new episode on November 15, and you’ll revisit the primary 4 seasons streaming on Freevee and the fifth streaming with a Peacock Premium subscription.
