'Hawaii Five-0': First look of original series' reboot shows Lieutenant McGarrett all suited up!
Attention, 'Hawaii Five-0' fans! It's officially time for a sneak peek into the highly anticipated reboot of the original series! Honouring the original series' 50th anniversary, Five-0 will be retelling the story from the original 1968 pilot. Titled 'Cocoon', it had run in two parts, created by the late Leonard Freeman. So in a way, this allows the current series' creator, Peter M Lenkov to even share his writing credits with the creator of the original series!
The first photos shared exclusively by TV line, show Steve McGarrett (then Jack Lord, now Alex O’Loughlin) all suited up. As fans would know, in both versions of the original pilot, McGarrett had "braved a torturous sensory deprivation tank in the course of tracking a killer," writes the outlet. "Wo Fat (originally played by Khigh Dhiegh) filled a pivotal role in the original pilot, so fans of the modern remake questioned how faithful the retelling could be." And if you're worrying about Wo Fat being currently dead in the original timeline, worry not. The reboot will definitely showcase him!
