More Go-to-Whoa H5O Woes

There’s more bad news for Hawaii Five-O fans: not only has tomorrow night’s belated resumption of season seven been pre-empted but so has next week’s episode.

In fact, it looks like new episodes have been delayed indefinitely because of the varying durations of newcomer Lego Masters Australia.

It will screen 7.30 Wednesdays from tomorrow, and the plan was to follow it with Magnum P.I. at 8.30 and H5O at 9.30.

But like Married at First Sight Australia, the running time of Logo Masters Australia will vary from episode to episode.

Tomorrow’s premiere is two hours long, and the May 8 broadcast will run for 85 minutes, pushing back Magnum PI from 8.30 to 8.55.

But rather than air H5O at 9.55, Three will move Newshub Late forward half-an-hour. And this looks set to be the strategy for the foreseeable future.

When asked about H5O’s return, the network said: “All New Hawaii Five-O will be returning to Three within the next few months.”

Chances are by the time it does resurface, S10 will be on air in the US (assuming CBS renews the series).
