LOS ANGELES, Oct 23: A reboot of popular cop drama TV series, “Magnum P I” is in works.
A pilot of the reboot has been ordered by the CBS, which will be developed by “Hawaii Five-O” writers Peter Lenkov and Eric Guggenheim, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The original series followed the adventures of Hawaii- based private investigator Thomas Magnum, played by Selleck.
