Magnum P.I. is Back

Many of us remember the early 80's action-adventure series that made Tom Selleck into a star. Now, Magnum P.I. is being brought back to life this fall. Will it be as good as the original? Only time will tell, but here are a few quick facts about the upcoming show.

Jay Hernandez will be taking on the iconic role of Thomas Magnum, private investigator.

Higgins, orginally played by actor John Hillerman, will now be played by a woman (Perdita Weeks), in order to give the show a strong female voice. This change will be a fresh dynamic to the roles.

The new Magnum will not sport a mustache, although a nod will be made to it in an early episode. The show wanted to avoid trying to create a clone of Selleck.

Selleck apparently gave his blessing for the remake.

Tune in to CBS September 24th to see what you think!
