NBC just dropped a trailer for the second half of Magnum P.I.’s fifth and final season — and the moment that’s going to have fans buzzing for the next 29 days is saved for last, when Higgins turns to Magnum and says, “I’m late.”
The potential pregnancy is foreshadowed by the preceding voiceover, when Thomas himself acknowledges that, “when you least expect it, everything can change.” And if you have any doubt that’s what Higgins is referring to here, you can watch an additional sneak peek below:

As previously reported, Magnum‘s final 10 episodes (aka Season 5B) will air Wednesdays at 9/8c, beginning Oct. 4, leading out of Season 2 of Quantum Leap. The reboot’s end date was confirmed in June, when NBC opted against a Season 6 pickup.
NBC’s Scripted Stash This Fall
Season 5A of Magnum, which aired on Sundays after Dateline reruns, averaged just shy of 5 million total weekly viewers and a 0.4 demo rating (with Live+7 playback) — down sharply from Season 4 on CBS (7.3 mil/0.7), which was very comfortably hammocked on Friday nights between S.W.A.T. and the well-watched Blue Bloods. Out of the 11 dramas that NBC aired this past TV season, Magnum ranked eighth in total audience (outdrawing only La Brea, Quantum Leap and The Blacklist), and tied The Blacklist for last in the demo.
The first four seasons are available to stream on Amazon Freevee, while Season 5A is available on Peacock.
