Magnum P.I. on NBC bid adieu and star Jay Hernandez spoke about his thoughts on the finale and whether or not there are plans to carry on the plot. Hernandez stated on social media on Wednesday, shortly before the NBC series finale of Magnum P.I., "I actually floated the idea of a standalone film. I suppose it’s still possible. If I’m being totally honest I didn’t love the show ending how it did.”
