Henry Ian Cusick — who joined "MacGyver" this season as new Phoenix Foundation owner Russ Taylor — teased the reunion via a selfie, to which "MacGyver‘s" own Twitter handle confirmed that Garcia will reprise his role as "Hawaii Five-0" conspiracy theorist Jerry Ortega.

Garcia made his "Five-0" debut in early Season 4, when Jerry was introduced as an old high school classmate of Chin Ho Kelly’s (Daniel Dae Kim). When "Five-0" was renewed for Season 6, Garcia was promoted to series regular status.

He last appeared on "Five-0" in the Season 10 opener, at the end of which Jerry — after being shot — chose to step away from the task force and live his life a bit differently.




“Playing Jerry was a blast, and I look forward to popping in again to play with my TV ohana,” Garcia shared back then in a statement to TVLine.

Showrunner Peter M. Lenkov in turn said, “There will always be a place for Jorge and Jerry on Hawaii Five-0” — or, as it turns out, one of Lenkov’s other CBS drama reboots.

Garcia’s air date has not yet been locked in.
