TOM SELLECK AS MAGNUM P.I.
CBS has ordered another reboot of a classic 80's series: Magnum P.I according to TVLine. The original series starred Tom Selleck as Thomas Sullivan Magnum an ex-Navy Seal who served in Vietnam. At 33 he goes to Hawaii and becomes a private detective. The series ran from 1980 to 1988 on CBS. The showrunner for the rebooted versions of Hawaii Five-O and MacGuyver, Peter Lenkov will write the pilot for the series along with Eric Guggenheim, a writer on Hawaii Five-O.
The new reboot will follow the format of the original series as Magnum solves cases and deals with returning veterans coming home from combat. A timely issue in today's world.
As someone who grew up in the 80's it will be interesting to see who they cast as "Magnum" and hopefully he will be just as charismatic as Tom Selleck was in the role. Only time will tell but I'll definitely be watching this new series.
Class Dismissed,
