CBS’ "Magnum P.I." reboot and a star of the original series are set to make beautiful music together, as seen in these exclusive photos from Season 2.

TVLine can exclusively report that Larry Manetti, who played Orville “Rick” Wright on the original, Tom Selleck-led procedural, will guest-star on the reboot in en episode slated to air Friday, Oct. 4 at 9/8c.

What’s more, Manetti will reprise his "Hawaii Five-0" guest-starring role of Nicky “The Kid” DeMarco, who assists Rick in opening his new club LaMariana, which is poised to become Oahu’s coolest tiki bar.

“From the moment I met Larry, he gave me his blessing to give my spin on Rick. We were in love before the end of our first cigar together,” Zach Knighton, who plays Rick on the new series, tells TVLine.

“I’m so honored and excited that he decided to join us on Magnum — and had to pinch myself when I was watching him perform again behind that piano. People are gonna love to see him back on TV.”

Manetti says, “It was such a thrill to be a part of the new Magnum P.I. Playing Rick in the original series was one of my greatest honors. It was such a privilege working with the whole cast, who were as warm and kind as they are tremendously talented.”

A Hawaii Five-O-Magnum P.I. crossover is officially happening

Alex O'Loughlin's Steve McGarrett and Jay Hernandez's Thomas Magnum will say aloha to each other when the two Hawaii-set CBS dramas from Peter M. Lenkov cross over in back-to-back episodes on Jan. 3. In fact, Lenkov says half of the crossover has already finished filming. “In a way, Higgins and Magnum become witnesses that Five-0 needs to help them,” says Lenkov of the crossover. “And our two worlds collide!” Lenkov, who had been trying to pull off the Hawaii Five-0/Magnum P.I. crossover since last season, adds: “It’s a big-stakes story that really feels like a two-hour movie."
