Season 6
Hawaii Five-0 wrapped up its 10-season run last week with an emotional two-hour series finale, but there may be a silver lining: Showrunner Peter Lenkov told TVLine there would have been another season had ABC green-lit it. What could fans have expected in that hypothetical follow-up season?

Hawaii Five-0’s season 10 finale made clear that Hawaii Five-0 would end after this run; star Alex O’Loughlin stated his desire to move on from its physical demands. Yet what could have happened had CBS decided to renew it for an 11th season?
Season 8
Hawaii Five-O featured many local actors from Hawaii besides Jack Lord as Steve McGarrett; these included Kam Fong as Chin Ho Kelly and Gilbert Francis Lani Damian Kauhi (Zulu) playing Kono Kalakaua.
TV Fanatic reported that Lenkov was already planning for Season 11 when CBS decided to end the rebooted series. MacGyver veteran Lance Gross had already been cast as Lincoln Cole – replacing McGarrett if an 11th season were to have taken place.
Alex O’Loughlin (Lieutenant Commander Steve McGarrett) and Scott Caan’s contracts expired at the conclusion of season 10.
Season 9
Hawaii Five-0 will come to an end Friday night with its two-hour series finale, with executive producer Peter Lenkov promising that its two-hour episode will pay homage to its original 1968 pilot episode by featuring McGarrett investigating his own friend’s death as part of its investigation.
The drama has an excellent chance at returning for its 10th season. While ratings have suffered slightly in recent seasons, it still regularly draws over 7 million viewers and ranks in the top 15 CBS primetime dramas. One major roadblock could prevent its revival: Alex O’Loughlin’s contract expires at the end of this season and could make renewing it difficult.
