Book ’em Danno, again.

Criminal Minds’ Executive Producer/showrunner Ed Bernero is to helm a new version of Hawaii 5-0 for CBS. And yes he’s keeping the theme tune.

The crime drama, which aired on CBS from 1968-80, is described as “Hawaii Five-O 2.0.” Set in the Hawaiian state police department, “Steve McGarrett’s (Jack Lord) son Chris will be the top cop. It follows confirmation of a remake of The Streets of San Francisco.

While the characters, storytelling and pacing will be updated, “we will try to keep as much of the original show as possible,” Bernero said. “I’m not trying to reinvent it.”

Bernero said he will keep, but update the iconic theme tune as well as include a new version of the famous “Book ’em, Danno” closing line.
