( December 2016 ) Thomas Sullivan Magnum IV is a private investigator played by Tom Selleck. He resides in the guest house of a 200 - acre ( 81 ha ) beachfront estate called Robin 's Nest, in Hawaii, at the invitation of its owner, Robin Masters, the celebrated, but never - seen, author of several dozen lurid novels. Ostensibly this is quid pro quo for Magnum 's services based upon his expertise in security ; the pilot and several early episodes suggest Magnum had done Masters a favor of some kind, possibly when Masters hired him for a case. The voice of Robin Masters, heard only a few times per season, was provided by Orson Welles ( one last `` appearance '' was provided by a different actor, Reid Crandell ). Magnum lives a luxurious life on the estate and operates as a P.I. on cases that suit him. The only thorn in the side of his near - perfect lifestyle is Jonathan Quayle Higgins III, played by John Hillerman. An ex -- British Army Sergeant Major, he is on the surface a stern, `` by - the - book '' caretaker of Robin 's Nest, whose strict ways often conflict with Magnum 's more easy - going methods. He patrols Robin 's Nest with his two highly trained `` lads '', Doberman Pinschers named Zeus and Apollo. Magnum has free use of the guest house and the car, a Ferrari 308 GTS Quattrovalvole, but as a humorous aside in various episodes, often has to bargain with Higgins for use of estate amenities such as the tennis courts, wine cellar and expensive cameras. The relationship between Magnum and Higgins is initially cool, but as the series progressed, an unspoken respect and fondness of sorts grew between the pair. Many episodes dedicated more screen time to this `` odd couple '' pairing after the relationship proved popular with fans. A recurrent theme throughout the last two seasons, starting in the episode `` Paper War '', involves Magnum 's sneaking suspicion that Higgins is actually Robin Masters since he opens Robin 's mail, calls Robin 's Ferrari `` his car '' etc. This suspicion is neither proved or disproved, although in at least one episode Higgins is shown alone in a room, picking up a ringing phone and talking to Robin Masters, indicating they are two different persons. Aside from Higgins, Magnum 's two main companions on the islands are Theodore Calvin `` T.C. '' ( Roger E. Mosley ), who runs a local helicopter charter service called `` Island Hoppers '', and often finds himself persuaded by Magnum to fly him during various cases, and Orville Wilbur Richard `` Rick '' Wright ( Larry Manetti ), who refuses to use his given name Orville and who owns a local bar. In the pilot episode, this was `` Rick 's Place '' in town, inspired by Casablanca, with Rick appearing in suitable 1930s attire. After completing the pilot, though, executives felt that audiences would be unable to fully connect with this element. Instead, Rick moved to running the plush, beachside King Kamehameha Club, which has exclusive membership and Higgins on the board of directors. Magnum often strolls around the club, using its facilities and running up an ever - unpaid tab, further fueling the Magnum - Higgins feud. T.C. and Rick are both former Marines from VMO - 2 with whom Magnum, a former Navy SEAL and Naval Intelligence agent, served in the Vietnam War. The series was one of the first to deal with Vietnam veterans as `` human beings '' and not as shell - shocked killers, and was praised by many ex-servicemen groups for doing so. Magnum often dupes or bribes T.C. and Rick into aiding him on his cases, much to their frustration, though the deep friendship between the group, including Higgins, proved to be one of the key elements of the program over its eight - season run. Magnum comes and goes as he pleases, works only when he wants, and has the almost unlimited use of the Ferrari and many other luxuries of the estate. He keeps a mini-refrigerator with a seemingly endless supply of beer ( `` Old Düsseldorf in a long neck '' ), wears his father 's treasured Rolex GMT Master wristwatch and is surrounded by countless beautiful women, who are often victims of crime, his clients, or are connected in various other ways to the cases he solves. Other characteristics specific to Magnum are his thick moustache, baseball caps ( usually a Detroit Tigers or VMO - 2 one ), a rubber chicken, and a variety of colorful Aloha shirts. Nearly every episode is narrated, in voice - over, by Magnum at various points. At the end of the seventh season, Magnum was to be killed off, to end the series. Following an outcry from fans who demanded a more satisfactory conclusion, an eighth season was produced to bring Magnum `` back to life '' and to round off the series.

Robin 's Nest is the fictional beach front estate on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, which serves as the residence of the main characters. In the series, it is owned by renowned novelist Robin Masters, who employs Jonathan Higgins as the estate 's caretaker and Thomas Magnum as its security expert. Higgins resides in the estate 's main house while Magnum occupies the guest house. In reality located in Waimānalo, the 3 - acre ( 1.2 ha ) beach front property is located on the east shore of Oahu at 41 - 505 Kalanianaole Highway ( Route 72 ) near Waimanalo Beach ( 21 ° 19 ′ 30 '' N 157 ° 40 ′ 48 '' W ﻿ / ﻿ 21.32500 ° N 157.68000 ° W ﻿ / 21.32500 ; - 157.68000 ). Called `` Pahonu '' ( `` turtle enclosure '' in Hawaiian ), it is also known locally as `` The Anderson Estate ''. The property was used for hundreds of years for raising green sea turtles for the Hawaiian royal family and includes a 500 by 50 foot stone wall that surrounds the former turtle raising pond. Since 1978, it has been on the National Register of Historic Places listings in Hawaii. Developed as a residential estate in the early 1930s, the estate comprises an 11,000 - square - foot ( 1,000 m ) main house, a boathouse ( which in the series appears as the guest house that Magnum occupies ), a gatehouse, a private tennis court, a beach front and the registered tidal pool. Originally owned by Cox Communications heiress Barbara Cox Anthony, it was placed on the market with Sotheby 's International Realty for $15.750 M in January 2014, it was sold for $8.7 M in March 2015 to Seth Madorsky, a Chicago lawyer with close ties to then - President Barack Obama, and later transferred to an LLC registered in Colorado. In April 2018, the estate was demolished. Theme music The original theme music for the opening credits of the pilot episode was a mid-tempo jazzy piece by Ian Freebairn - Smith. This music was also used for the next nine regular episodes. Beginning in Episode 12, it was replaced by a more uptempo theme typical of 1980s action series by Mike Post and Pete Carpenter with guitar by Larry Carlton. This theme had been used during the show and over the closing credits from Episode 8. A longer version of this second theme ( `` Theme from Magnum P.I. '', clocking in at 3 : 25 ) credited to Post was released as a 7 - inch single by Elektra Records in 1982 and featured on the Billboard Hot 100 chart that same year, peaking at No. 25 on 8 May 1982. This version also appeared on Post 's 1982 album Television Theme Songs.

Development This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. ( December 2016 ) Development of Magnum, P.I. was originally slated at ABC, which aired other Glen Larson series The Hardy Boys / Nancy Drew Mysteries and Battlestar Galactica. However, in January 1979, ABC cancelled both series, and development on Magnum, P.I.. Larson then took the series over to CBS. Selleck 's contract commitment to the Magnum, P.I. series famously cost him the role of Indiana Jones in the first Indiana Jones film, Raiders of the Lost Ark, which went to Harrison Ford. Selleck was unable to take the part of Jones as Magnum was due to start filming in March 1980. Owing to the 1980 AFTRA / Screen Actors Guild strike, production of Magnum was delayed until December 1980, which would have allowed Selleck to play Jones.

Sequel In September 2016, ABC began developing a sequel from Leverage creator John Rogers and producer Eva Longoria centering on Lily `` Tommy '' Magnum, which never made it to series. Reboot In October 2017, CBS announced they had issued a pilot commitment for a reboot of the series, to be developed by Peter M. Lenkov, who has helped reboot other series like Hawaii Five - 0 and MacGyver for the network. CBS officially ordered the pilot three months later, along with one for a reboot of another hit 1980s television series for the network, Cagney & Lacey, as well as one for 1990s favorite Murphy Brown. On February 20, 2018, actor Jay Hernandez was cast as Thomas Magnum. Notes Jump up ^ The three friends wear a gold Team Ring, which bears a Croix de Lorraine on a black field, as a bond of wartime camaraderie. Jump up ^ In the series finale, `` Resolutions 2 '', the priest at Rick 's wedding announces his full name as Orville Wilbur Richard Wright. Rick disliked being named after both of the Wright brothers, and preferred his nickname. The series ended in a cliffhanger, as the audience never sees whether Rick actually says `` I do ''. The name may be a discontinuity, as early on in the series Roger E. Mosley 's character had referred to him as `` Elliot '', though in the first episode he is identified as Orville. Jump up ^ The 1981 Edgar Award was won for an episode entitled `` China Doll. '' Jump up ^ The Region 1 version of the Season 1 DVD release comes with an extra disk, featuring extra episodes from later in the series. Jump up ^ The Season 1 release ( both Regions 1 and 2 ) has an error in the episode `` China Doll '' : the musical cues are about 30 seconds off throughout much of the episode. Jump up ^ Currently, Tom Selleck stars as NYPD Commissioner Frank Reagan in another CBS series, Blue Bloods. References Jump up ^ `` Magnum, P.I details ''. museum.tv.
