While the current Covid-19 pandemic shut down the remainder of season 4 filming back in early March, we do know there were additional episodes filmed beyond the season 4 finale to air this Friday on May 8.

We can assume the remainder of those episodes will begin the 5th season when it returns. No dates yet for that or for when the show will begin production again. Once it’s safe to do so we assume…. and once we have that information, we’ll share it here!

In the meantime, enjoy the season 4 finale this Friday and then get ready for season 5! Bring on more paper clips and duct tape, Mac!

MacGyver Renewed For Season Five

“CBS announced today that MacGyver is getting a fifth season. It’s the renewal notice that fans have been waiting for. After getting less than anticipated out of the fourth season due to worldly events, it is a welcomed announcement. Although we don’t know when the season will be airing, there is no doubt that the writers will have another tantalizing tale for fans. With the uncertainties that are facing our current world, it’s good to have something like television to fall back on. It helps us escape “reality” for awhile. 

MacGyver and the rest of the Phoenix Foundation have evolved immensely from past seasons. This is no longer just a “fun-loving” show. There is undeniable darkness and depth to the characters and their intricate stories. Instead of being pictures of “perfection”, we are able to see the real grit of what makes these characters tick. I am hoping they will continue to explore these avenues in the season to come. 

The series has garnered quite a following since the reboot went live in 2016. The popularity of the original series seems to have carried on to this one. With a wide fan base, this cements the longevity of the show.  Peter Lenkov seems to have the golden touch when it comes to rebooting series and may that trend continue.

What are your thoughts on the show and the possibilities that may present themselves? Will we get answers? Or, will the writers, as they so often do, take us by surprise yet again.”

MacGyver Season 4 Gets Additional Episodes

Ian first broke the good news on his Twitter account with this announcement, which was followed by the article by Matt Carter. Needless to say, MacGyver fans are very happy about the longer season. Still no premiere date announced yet but expected to be sometime after the new year in 2020.

From Ian on Twitter:
@hicusick “Just heard @MacGyverCBS has been picked up for 9 more episodes! Woohoo! #MacGyverS4 “

MacGyver

“For those who were interested in some more MacGyver season 4 news, here’s something that will be right up your alley! In a new post on Twitter, series star/newcomer Henry Ian Cusick confirms that there are nine more episodes coming beyond the original 13 that were ordered. That means that, despite the later premiere date, there will still be an impressive 22-episode order for the show.

We’ve been saying for a while now that MacGyver airing in the new year is hardly a death sentence for the show. Just think of things like this — The Blacklist season 6 premiered in January, and it aired 22 episodes without much of a problem. We think this episode extension means that either MacGyver season 4 will premiere in January, or that we are going to be seeing the show starting later in the spring and running into the summer. We’ve seen that happen with Elementary, so we can’t quite rule that out, either.

No matter when MacGyver is coming back, we would say that this confirms that CBS is very much still interested in the show and telling some of these stories. We like to think that this is important on SO many levels. For one, MacGyver is just solid entertainment start to finish, but it also has an inspirational quality to it. Think in terms of how it can get younger viewers interested in innovation and science. The show tries to ground most of its “Mac hacks” in realism and there have been some fun ones.

We won’t know for a long time, of course, if there will be a season 5. We do imagine that at some point over the next month, we’ll learn more news in regards to the show’s relative premiere date. Stay tuned for that, and if it premieres in January, we may get some more promos and other scoop at some point next month. CBS is likely being diplomatic when it comes to when they want to hand down some more insight on the show and what’s coming up next.”
