CBS Renews MacGyver For Season 4.

Deadline reports:

      ‘MacGyver’ Renewed For Season 4 By CBS, Terry Matalas Replaces Craig O’Neill As Co-Showrunner

      UPDATED: After spending a few months on the bubble, MacGyver will see a fourth season with Terry Matalas (12 Monkeys) joining as executive producer/co-showrunner. He replaces Craig O’Neill as co-showrunner alongside creator/executive producer/showrunner Peter Lenkov.

      While not a critical darling, the show has done respectably well in its 8 PM Friday time period, drawing 7.8 million viewers. With Blue Bloods and Hawaii Five-0 also renewed, CBS once again is keeping its Friday lineup intact.

      MacGyver, a reimagining of the 1985 show, originated with Lucas Till and George Eads as leads. Eads exited the series this season, putting the future of the series in limbo. Levy Tran was brought in toward the end of this season as a recurring with an eye towards her possibly becoming a series regular/new co-lead. She is expected to continue next season as a series regular.

      Director James Wan executive produces MacGyver alongside Lenkov, Matalas, Henry Winkler and Lee Zlotoff for CBS Television Studios in association with Lionsgate.

      In addition to Till, Tristin Mays, Justin Hires and Meredith Eaton also star.
