It’s been a very long time wait, however followers will quickly be reunited with Thomas Magnum and co. when Magnum P.I. Season 5 debuts! Following the occasions of the fourth season finale, many anxiously puzzled about among the present’s lingering plot threads, which may now be resolve since NBC saved the CBS procedural from cancellation.

In a joint interview together with her on-screen companion, Jay Hernandez, Perdita Weeks spoke to TVLine about what might be anticipated from the upcoming season of Magnum P.I. She additionally touched on the the long-awaited relationship between her and Hernandez’s characters. Weeks obtained sincere about Higgins being the one to make the primary transfer and why she was happy with that:

I believe it wanted to come back from her to ensure that it to occur, as a result of she was all the time going to be the one who leads together with her head, whereas [Thomas] may be very way more heart-driven. He’s the extra naturally emotional or romantic one, whereas [Juliet] may be very caught in her head and over-analytical.

She’s petrified of falling for him principally as a result of she doesn’t need to get harm. Now that [the kiss] has occurred, you see a softer facet of her in direction of him, particularly going ahead.

One can not help however really feel a tinge of nervousness when excited about how they’re going to deal with the perils of relationship (and naturally, being personal investigators) transferring ahead. Nevertheless, it ought to make for compelling TV, and I am pumped to see each Perdita Weeks and Jay Hernandez faucet into totally different elements of this lovable pair.
