The NBC action drama show is a reboot of the popular show of the same name, which aired from 1980 to 1988. Thomas Magnum is a former Navy SEAL and private investigator who is now a detective in Hawaii.
Tom Selleck portrayed the character in the original show. According to NBC's official website, the description of the ongoing season reads:
"Magnum P.I. is inspired by the '80s crime series of the same name, starring Hernandez as the ex-Navy SEAL turned smooth-talking private investigator, Thomas Magnum.
