The Magnum P.I. franchise holds a unique place in pop culture history. The story originated in 1980, introducing audiences to Thomas Sullivan Magnum IV, a charming and resourceful Vietnam War veteran turned private investigator living as a permanent guest in a luxurious beachfront estate on Oahu, Hawaii. For eight seasons and 162 episodes, Tom Selleck defined the role, winning an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series in 1984. The series was a ratings juggernaut, blending humor, action, and the iconic setting of Hawaii into a weekly cultural event that remains beloved decades later.
The original series, featuring the iconic red Ferrari and Thomas Magnum's signature mustache, is widely available for both streaming and purchase.
NBC picked up the reboot for its fifth and final season. Peacock is the official home for streaming Season 5 episodes on-demand.
