Hawaii Five-0 has been a TV staple since it debuted in 2010. Weve come to know and love Alex OLoughlins McGarrett and Scott Caan as Danno, and we cant imagine a Friday night without the duo.

But were going to have toand very soon. Hawaii Five-0 has officially been cancelled, and the series finale is slated to air in less than a month.

Its never easy to say goodbye to a hit franchise that carried on the legacy of the original with such distinction, while establishing its own signature style, said Kelly Kahl, President of CBS Entertainment. We cannot be prouder of its quality and longevity and are thankful for the passionate fan devotion it inspired.

But if it had such a passionate viewership, then why would CBS end the series? Heres everything we know.

Besides the fact that its been on 10 whole yearsa pretty lengthy amount of timeit seems there were a few behind-the-scenes factors, too. Deadline claimed Alex and Scotts contracts were up at the end of this season, which often jumpstarts an actors exit.

But the outlet also mentioned that Alex suffered a back injury years ago on set, and that he hasnt quite recovered. He reportedly had a stem cell treatment that helped, but he couldnt sign on for another round. CBS allegedly toyed with the idea of replacing Alex, but instead decided it was time to cut the cord.

The worst news out of all of this is that Hawaii Five-0s final episode will run in less than a month. The two-hour series finale will air on April 3, 2020 so we suggest stocking up on tissues now.

Yes! Apparently James Marsters (Victor Hesse), William Sadler (Jack McGarrett), and Mark Dacascos (Wo Fat) will be back to say goodbye. Theres no word on whether Grace Park or Daniel Dae Kim might return for one last time, but considering their exits seemed a little controversial were not sure we see that happening.

Hopefully they tie everything up as well as Criminal Minds did this year!
