Aloha Five-0!

Friday's hit drama Hawaii Five-0 will end after 10 seasons.
CBS is axing the long running police drama, Hawaii Five-0.

The stars Alex O'Loughlin and Scott Caan have said the time has come to close the book on their longtime series. Peter M. Lenkov, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci created the show based off the Leonard Freeman classic series.

Hawaii Five-0 started on the Monday spots but soon ended up on Friday and became the CBS TV Network's cash cow.

The stars were getting really hurt on set. Loughlin was seriously injured during the early season but maintained his strength throughout it. Also Caan was dealing with injuries as well.

The series is slated to end with a two hour series finale.

"Hawaii Five-0 has been such a blessing to me and all of the people who have worked on this incredible show," said Lenkov. "I turly learned the meaning of 'ohana' as the viewers embraced us and the people of Hawaii welcomed us with the privilege to film on their shores. I am forever indebted to the creative genius that was Leonard Freeman who gave us such a beautiful story to begin with. And my eternal gratitude to our cast lead by our hero Alex O'Loughlin, the writers, the production team, our CBS ohana, and most importantly-- YOU, the fans, who allowed us to come to work with pride and made our series such a success. Mahalo."
Alex O'Loughlin and Scott Caan have ran the Five-0 for 10 years. Now the two have decided to conclude the series.
Hawaii Five-0 has been watched by nearly 40 million viewers this season, says Deadline.

"For 10 seasons, Alex, Scott and the rest of the talented Five-0 cast have brought fans exciting adventures in a spectacular tropical paradise," said David Stapf, President of CBS Television Studios.

"We specifically want to thank Peter and the incredibly talented production team for 10 years of consistently outstanding television. The drama has been a great success for the [CBS Studios] and [the CBS Network], and as a global franchise for our company. We're pleased to give it a big sendoff and that viewers will have the opportunity to say goodbye to their favorite characters as the final season wraps."

The series had crossover with MacGyver, Magnum P.I. and NCIS: Los Angeles.

MacGyver and Magnum P.I. will likely continue on the Friday spot depending on CBS's decision to keep the slot with dramas.

The state of Hawai'i also thanked the production team for allowing their state to be a place of great programming.
