Perdita Weeks<\/strong> is looking back at her time on Magnum P.I.<\/em> with great fondness now that the series has wrapped after five seasons.<\/p>\n
The crime drama, which premiered in 2018 and ended Wednesday, January 3, featured Jay Hernandez<\/strong> stepping into the role of private investigator Thomas Magnum, the character previously made famous by Tom Selleck<\/strong> in the original \u201980s series. Weeks starred as Juliette Higgins, a former MI6 agent who becomes Magnum\u2019s partner before things turn romantic. The series also starred Zachary Knighton<\/strong>, Amy Hill<\/strong>, Betsey Phillips<\/strong>, Tim Kang<\/strong> and Stephen Hill<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
Forming tight-knit bonds with her costars is one of the main things Weeks will remember the most \u2014 even if things started out a bit rocky at first. \u201cHanging with my best friends was quite fun, although we didn\u2019t start off as best friends, obviously,\u201d she tells Us<\/em>. \u201cI was like, \u2018Who are these people?’\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a little hiccup-y at the beginning,\u201d adds the British actress, who is currently enjoying her time off in London. \u201cI was just very English, and they\u2019re very American, and [there] was a big cultural divide at first.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
Eventually, \u201cI warmed up a bit,\u201d she shares. \u201cI sort of took the stick out from my behind, and we got along famously.\u201d<\/p>\n
Five years later, Weeks considers her colleagues to be some of her closest confidants. \u201cI know these people incredibly well,\u201d she continues. \u201cJay said, \u2018You\u2019ve spent more time with me than you have all of your other friends put together for the whole of your life.\u2019 And I was like, \u2018That\u2019s true, because [filming takes] 15 hours a day for eight months of every year.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re all super-duper close and there\u2019s a lot of love,\u201d she says. \u201cI would be overjoyed to work with any of them again.\u201d<\/p>\n
