Production Development On March 27, 2013, while the third season was still airing, CBS renewed Hawaii Five-0 for a fourth season. When CBS announced its fall schedule for the 2013-14 television season it was revealed that the series would undergo a time slot change moving from Monday nights at 10 PM ET to Friday nights at 9 PM ET. The season premiere aired on September 27, 2013. For the fourth season production of the series moved to a sound stage at Diamond Head Film Studios where the original Hawaii Five-O and Magnum, P.I. as well as Lost previously filmed at. Filming on the season began on July 9, 2013 with a traditional Hawaiian blessing. On October 11, 2013, it was announced that the show was planning a "fan built episode." Fans and viewers of the series were able to vote on several plot elements of the show including the scene of the crime, the victim, the murder weapon, the suspect, and the scene of the takedown. Once production began fans were also able to vote for additional elements such as props, cast wardrobe, music, and the episode title. The episode aired as the season's eighteenth episode on April 4, 2014.
Casting On June 14, 2013, it was announced that Jorge Garcia would guest star in an episode early on in the season. It was also announced that Chi McBride had been cast in a guest role to play character from the original series, Captain Lou Grover; with the possibility of the role to later become recurring. Tim Daly was confirmed to be guest starring in an episode as a Texas Ranger also with the possibility for the role to become recurring. It was reported that Henry Ian Cusick would guest star in the season's premiere episode as a character called Ernesto, a member of a terrorist group called the National Liberation Movement. Nick Jonas also guest starred in one episode as computer hacker Ian Wright. After appearing in multiple episodes as a recurring character it was revealed that McBride would be upped to a series regular for the remainder of the season. McBride began receiving main billing in the tenth episode of the season, "Hoʻonani Makuakane". Jonas later reprised his role once again in the season finale. Mark Dacascos also reprised his role as Wo Fat in the seasons premiere and finale episodes. Garcia quickly became a recurring character when he appeared in three more episodes later in the season.
