Production History The idea to bring Hawaii Five - O back to television had been under consideration well before the 2010 version was announced. The first attempt was a one - hour pilot for a new series that was made in 1996 but never aired, although a few clips were found years later and are available online. Produced and written by Stephen J. Cannell, it was intended to star Gary Busey and Russell Wong as the new Five - 0 team. Original cast member James MacArthur briefly returned as Dan Williams, this time as governor of Hawaii, with cameos made by other former Five - O regulars. Another attempt was made to turn the project into a film by Warner Bros. but that also was scrapped. On August 12, 2008, CBS announced that it would bring Hawaii Five - O back to the network schedule for the 2009 -- 10 television season. The new version would be an updated present - day sequel, this time centering on Steve McGarrett, who succeeds his late father Steve ( Jack Lord 's character in the original series ) as the head of the unit. Edward Allen Bernero, executive producer and showrunner of Criminal Minds, was to helm the new take, which he described as `` Hawaii Five - O, version 2.0 ''. It was also to incorporate most of the iconic elements from the original, including the `` Book ' em, Danno '' catchphrase, into the remake. Bernero, who was a fan of the original, and had a ring tone of the series ' theme song on his cell phone, had always wanted to bring the series back to TV. This version did not go beyond the script stage. In October 2009, it was announced that Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci had signed on to script a pilot episode, and that Peter M. Lenkov would serve as the series showrunner. Kurtzman and Orci decided to reboot the original concept similar to their work on the 2009 Star Trek film, rather than a sequel to the original series. Production on the pilot was shot in and around Honolulu from February to April 2010. On May 17, 2010, the Hawaii Five - O remake was picked up by CBS, which scheduled it for Monday nights in the 10 -- 11 p.m. time slot. The news was good for the state of Hawaii, which hopes that the remake will pump new life into the economy. Production of the remainder of the first season started in June 2010. On June 24, 2010, the producers announced that it will use the warehouse at the former Honolulu Advertiser building as the official soundstage studio for the series starting in July 2010. Exteriors representing Five - 0 headquarters in the series are located at the Judiciary History Center of the Supreme Court Building in Honolulu, directly across the street from Iolani Palace, which represented Five - O headquarters in the original series. On October 21, 2010, CBS announced that the first season had been given a full season order of 24 episodes. Subsequent seasons have consisted of between 23 and 25 episodes. This revival series uses a zero as the last character in its title instead of the letter `` O '' that is used in the title of the original series. According to Los Angeles Times, a CBS insider said that the disambiguation was necessary because of search engine results. When Variety conducted its own search engine test on Google, it found that `` Hawaii Five - 0 '' ( with the zero ) had 263,000 results while `` Hawaii Five - O '' ( with the letter O ) had over 1.7 million. Online voting by viewers determined the ending of the January 14, 2013 episode `` Kapu '' ( `` Forbidden '' ), with two zones, Eastern and Central Time Zones, and Mountain and Pacific Time Zones, each getting their own result. Each alternative ending could be seen online after the episode aired. In October 2013 it was announced that the show was planning a fan built episode. Fans of the show were able to vote on several elements of the show including scene of the crime, victim, murder weapon, suspect and take down. Once production began fans were also able to vote for props, cast wardrobe, music, and the episode title. The episode aired on April 4, 2014, and was titled `` Hoʻi Hou '' ( `` Reunited '' ) Casting In February 2010, it was announced that Daniel Dae Kim had been cast to play Chin Ho Kelly, an ex-cop trained by Steve McGarrett 's father. He was the first actor cast for the remake. Several days later, Alex O'Loughlin was cast as Steve McGarrett, the son of ex-cop John McGarrett ( portrayed by William Sadler ). The producers pay homage to the original series throughout the first year by making one of Steve 's hobbies restoring his father 's 1974 Mercury Marquis, which is in fact the actual car driven by Jack Lord in the latter half of the original series ' run. Actress Grace Park was later cast as rookie detective Kona `` Kono '' Kalakaua. Although in the original series, the character of Kono was male, the reboot series swapped the cop 's gender in order to steer clear of a task force void of women. Scott Caan was cast as Danny `` Danno '' Williams. In the recurring cast are Jean Smart as Governor Pat Jameson and Masi Oka as the medical examiner Max Bergman. Oka was upgraded to series regular for the second season. Of note, several recurring roles have been filled by surviving members of the original cast. Al Harrington, who played Det. Ben Kokua in the original series, now plays a friend of McGarrett 's, Mamo Kahike. Dennis Chun, who had various guest roles in the original series and is the son of Kam Fong Chun ( the actor that portrayed the original Chin Ho ), has a recurring role as HPD Sgt. Duke Lukela in the remake. James MacArthur, the last surviving main cast member from the original series, agreed to guest - star in a first - season episode ; however, he died on October 28, 2010, before filming his appearance. Larisa Oleynik was cast as Jessica Kaye ( changed to Jenna Kaye in the episode broadcast ), scheduled to join the Five - 0 task force in the show 's 19th episode. Oleynik appeared on a recurring basis for the remainder of the 2010 -- 11 season, with an option to become a regular in season 2 ; however, her character was killed off in season 2, episode 10. It was also announced that Terry O'Quinn would be joining the cast of the show in season two, along with Lauren German, who would play Lori Weston, a former Homeland Security ( and FBI agent ) official assigned by the new governor to keep an eye on the team. Since the show began in 2010 Michelle Borth had a recurring role where she appeared as on and off Steve McGarrett 's girlfriend, Lt. Catherine Rollins, a Navy Lieutenant. On March 26, 2012, CBS announced that Borth would become a cast regular on Hawaii Five - 0 for season 3. On March 27, 2014, it was announced that she would not be returning for the fifth season, with the reason for her departure left unknown. On April 24, 2015 it was announced that Borth would return as a guest star for the shows fifth - season finale. In July 2015 it was announced that Borth would have a recurring role in the first three episodes of the shows 6th season. On September 8, 2016 it was announced that Borth would be returning as a guest for the shows 150th episode. Christine Lahti was also cast in a recurring role as Doris McGarrett, the thought - to - be-deceased mother of Steve McGarrett. On July 10, 2013 ahead of the show 's fourth season it was announced that Chi McBride would have a guest spot in the first episode of the season. On November 21, 2013 it was announced that McBride would become a series regular beginning with the seasons 10th episode. After appearing as a guest star in several season four episodes, Jorge Garcia who plays the character of Jerry Ortega ( a conspiracy theorist and high school classmate of Chin 's ) was promoted to series regular commencing season five. This is the second time Kim and Garcia serve as regulars together with Lost being the first. Beginning with the second episode of the 2016 -- 17 season, Claire Forlani had a recurring role as Alicia Brown, a retired criminal profiler who helped the team find a serial killer. On November 17, 2016, it was announced that Masi Oka who portrays Dr. Max Bergman would be departing the series after the thirteenth episode of the seventh season. On June 30, 2017, ahead of the series 's eighth season, it was announced that series regulars Daniel Dae Kim and Grace Park would be departing the series due to a salary dispute with CBS. Kim and Park had been seeking pay equality with co-stars Alex O'Loughlin and Scott Caan, but did not reach satisfactory deals with CBS Television Studios. CBS 's final offer to Kim and Park was 10 -- 15 % lower than what O'Loughlin and Caan make in salary. An update of their characters would be given in the first episode of the new season. Following Kim 's and Park 's departures it was announced that longtime recurring cast member Ian Anthony Dale who portrays Kono Kalakaua 's husband Adam Noshimuri had been upped to series regular for the eighth season. It was also announced that Meaghan Rath and Beulah Koale would join the series as new characters and new members of Five - 0. On July 21, 2017 it was announced that recurring cast members Taylor Wily, Kimee Balmilero, and Dennis Chun would also be upped to series regulars for the eighth season. Music Hawaii Five - 0 uses the original show theme song composed by Morton Stevens. Critics received an early copy of the pilot with a synthesizer and guitar - based version of the theme. After negative reaction to the reworked song spread quickly online, Kurtzman said he and others realized that changing the music was a mistake, and arranged for studio musicians, including three who had worked on the original from 1968, to rerecord the theme `` exactly as it was '', except shortened to 30 seconds from its original length of about 60 seconds. Original instrumental music is composed by Brian Tyler and Keith Power.

Reception and impact Critical reception The show has received mostly positive reviews. Metacritic gave season one of the show a 66 out of 100 aggregate score based on reviews from 29 critics. Rotten Tomatoes gave season one a score of 74 % based on 23 reviews. The site 's consensus calls it : `` A brisk, slick reboot of an old favorite, Hawaii Five - 0 's picturesque locales and attractive cast make for pleasurable viewing. '' On May 19, 2010, The Honolulu Advertiser offered an opinion about the new version : `` A smart script, slick production values and maybe a splash of nostalgia got the remake of Hawaii Five - O placed on the CBS prime - time lineup this fall, but it will take more than beefcake and a remixed theme song to keep the show on the air. '' The piece also pointed out that times have changed since the original left the air, citing other shows that were set in Hawaii which have come and gone. It expressed a hope that the producers will succeed in bringing a new life to the title with this remake. Hawaii Five - 0 was also in the Guinness World Records 2012 for Highest - Rated New Show in the U.S. with a record 19.34 million viewers for its January 23, 2011 episode ( Kai eʻe ).
