"Hawaii Five-0's" Daniel Dae Kim and Grace Park-less Season 8 is coming together, with CBS announcing who will be replacing the exiting actors Wednesday.

Ian Anthony Dale is getting promoted to series regular, while Meaghan Rath and Beulah Koale will join the cast. Dale has recurred as Adam Noshimuri since Season 2, becoming a trusted confidant and resource for the team who will now be recruited by McGarrett (Alex O'Loughlin) to work for Five-0.

Noshimuri is married to Park's character Kono, who's being written off the show, so it'll be interesting to see how that's handled.





Rath will play Tani Rey, "who McGarrett recruits after finding her working as a lifeguard at a hotel pool after she was kicked out of the Police Academy, despite being a first-rate candidate," as CBS puts it.

Rath is best known for "Being Human" and "New Girl". Casting for Tani was underway even before Kim and Park officially left.



Koale will play Junior Reigns, a recently discharged Navy SEAL who asks fellow former SEAL McGarrett for a job.

Season 8 premieres Friday, Sept. 29 at 9/8c on CBS.
