Magnum P.I. is here to continue the investigation in the show’s new season. The crime drama revolves around an ex-Navy SEAL who turns P.I. in Hawaii after his return from Afghanistan.

The series is a remake of the classic Magnum P.I. (1980-88), which starred Tom Selleck (as Thomas Magnum) and John Hillerman (Jonathan Higgins) in key roles. In the modern version, Jay Hernandez plays Magnum and his partner’s name is changed to Juliet Higgins, portrayed by actress Perdita Weeks.

Both versions have impressed viewers, and the latest Magnum P.I. has been renewed for a fourth season.
