Lenkov and Guggenheim will executive produce with Davis Entertainment’s John Davis and John Fox.
The new Magnum P.I. series comes from writer Peter Lenkov and Eric Guggenheim (executive producers and showrunners for the Hawaii Five-0 reboot), and will center around the four main characters from the original series.
The character of Higgins (played in the original by John Hillerman) will be female.
ABC tried a sequel-style reboot of the show in 2016, which was produced by Eva Longoria and John Rogers (Leverage).
