News & Media & Ratings Thread! #24: WE’VE BEEN RENEWED!!!!
 

Thanks for the new thread Lena! :)

You're welcome Steph :hug:

Can't wait for more news :D

With the show coming back next month we will get some news soon :nod:

Good!

And, as always I'm :impatient:

From TV Guide. It looks like the door for Grace return are still open. And we have confirmation that Ziggy Marley is back.

Where We Left Off: The team busted a sex-trafficking ring, but just stopping it on the island wasn't enough for Kono (Grace Park). So without telling anybody, she boarded a plane to the mainland to stop the perps in other cities too. Jerry (Jorge Garcia) finally became a full-badged member of the team, while Chin (Daniel Dae Kim) was offered a job starting up a task force in San Francisco. Oh, and McGarrett (Alex O'Loughlin) had just a teensy little bit of radiation poisoning from handling a dirty bomb earlier in the season.

The Scoop: Hawaii Five-0 had an uncommonly eventful offseason, with Kim and Park leaving the series over pay disputes. The show is going to have to deal with their sudden exits -- especially Kono's, since in the team's minds, she's MIA.

"It's difficult when a family member moves on from the fold, and they'll certainly be missed by all," executive producer Peter Lenkov tells TV Guide. "Hoping we can wrap up the Kono story at some point, which is one reason we're very excited to have Ian Anthony Dale returning." Ian Anthony Dale, of course, plays Adam Noshimuri, Kono's husband, who has been promoted to series regular in Season 8.

Chin's departure is far easier to explain - he did, in fact, take the new job in San Francisco. His vacancy on the team will pave the way for new series regular Meaghan Rath, who plays Tani Rey, a lifeguard who was kicked out of the police academy. "I'm honestly blown away by how well she fits into our world," says Lenkov. "It's like she's been with us from Day 1."

Beulah Koale is also joining as a series regular, playing Junior Reigns, a recently discharged Navy SEAL who asks fellow former SEAL McGarrett for a job. Other returning guest stars include Chris Vance and Ziggy Marley, and Joey Lawrence will make his H50 debut.

Thanks for posting - interesting take on what has happened. :D

Thanks for that. Interesting on what's to come!

First official photos of Meaghan Rath as Tani Rey and Beulah Koale as Junior Reigns. It looks like Junior will debut in episode 8.03, not 8.04 as I thought. In the pictures with Juniors we have the title of the episode"Dog Days", and we know that Eddie will debut in episode 8.03. Besides, photo of Danny and Tani isalso from the episode "Dog Days", and as we know Danny will not be in 8.04. So all indicates that Junior will debut in episode 8.03.

Thanks for those! I so can't wait for this season!!

From EW. It looks like will be another crossover with MacGyver. And it looks like that this time crossover will be bigger. I think with Alex and Scott, and maybe two-parter, one episode in H50, and one episode in MacGyver. We'll see.

Should we be expecting another MacGyver-Hawaii Five-0 crossover this year? — Trey
If it’s up to Peter Lenkov — showrunner on both shows — the answer is yes. “The best thing about that experience was learning how to do it,” Lenkov says. “Because a big part of it is the time difference between Hawaii and Atlanta and getting the actors there and getting them to do their scenes and not affect production on both shows. I think we’ll be able to do it in a much bigger way the next time we do it.”

That would be great if they did do another one!

Peter Lenkov about Steve's, restaurant of Steve and Danny:

Here is something fun and different for Hawaii Five-0 viewers to sink their teeth into, as the summer hiatus winds to an end: the pie-in-the-sky restaurant unofficially dubbed Steve’s may take steps closer to becoming a reality during Season 8.

During TVLine’s Fall Preview Q&A with Five-0 showrunner Peter M. Lenkov, we asked which interpersonal dynamic, given all the between-seasons cast churn, has been “popping” for him on the dailies thus far. And his mind immediately went to a tried-and-true twosome. “The thing that’s really fun has to do with how Danny and McGarrett (played by Alex O’Loughlin and Scott Caan) have talked about opening this restaurant,” he said.

With Kono off to battle sex traffickers and Chin Ho enlisted to start up a San Francisco branch of Five-0, “A big part of last year and this year is talking about people’s legacies and what they leave behind,” Lenkov explained, “and [Steve and Danny] sort of start this side project” — related to the aforementioned Steve’s — “which is a lot of fun for them to be doing.”

Of course, successfully opening up a restaurant is a daunting proposition even for business partners of the same mind, let alone two guys with strong opinions. So don’t go booking your reservation via Open Table just yet.

“It’s a longterm thing,” Lenkov affirms. “And who knows — the way they’re sort of going at each other, and given their different points of view with regards to building this business as something to retire into, it may never even happen! Because it’s just one hurdle after another.”

But in success, I suggested, maybe the stage can be set for a workplace sitcom offshoot that would cause less wear-and-tear to Alex O’Loughlin’s famously weary joints? “Yeah, down the road,” Lenkov responded with a laugh. “Many years down the road. Season 15!”

‘Hawaii Five-0’ Season 8: Steve, Danny to Open Restaurant Together? | TVLine

I like the idea of the two of them starting a restaurant OMG!!! the carguments we will get :lol:

TY for posting Bartek! :D

Press release for episode 8.01. Strage in the press release there is no Taylor, Dennis, and Kimee, but as we know they will appear in episode.. "The season premiere includes animation of one of McGarrett and Danny’s infamous “car-guements" - I'm intrigued.

A lot of new informations about season 8 from TV Line. I'm glad that this year will be a Christmas episode. And looks like I was right about role of Adam in Five-0.

:yay: for the Christmas episode :yay: as for Ian that was the only role they could gave him I am curious how all will play out this season.

From EW about Adam. I'm glad from this direction and that he will be a normal member of the team and more expert in criminal world.

Can’t wait to see Adam back on Hawaii Five-0. Any new detail on how he will join the team? — Lisa
He’s not necessarily joining the team in the traditional sense — not initially, at least. “Adam’s involvement with Five-0 is going to be very different from the other members of Five-0,” EP Peter Lenkov says. “What he’s going to be helping us with is a very specific task, so he’s not going to be another member of Five-0 wearing a badge, doing case-of-the-week stuff. He’s doing something that’s going to be built into a big season arc for him.”
