Lenkov-verse

{{Quote box|width=33%|align=right|quote=There are possibilities...the Hawaii Five-0 opportunity popped up and we said, "That's great; let's do it." Those things happen without a lot of planning. It's not anything you plan and set before. It's something that pops up in the writing... It has to be organic or else it feels bolted on. It has to be a natural extension of the story that's going on. For Hawaii Five-0, that's exactly what it is.|source=—Shane Brennan, producer on NCIS: Los Angeles, on future crossovers with Hawaii Five-0.}}

Up until the reboot of MacGyver in 2016, CBS's Hawaii Five-0 was the only show in the Lenkov-verse. Debuting in September 2010, the show had enjoyed solid ratings and had helped to boost Hawaii's economy with increased tourist visits to local businesses and cultural sites featured on the show.{{cite web |url=http://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/Global/story.asp?S=14080415 |title=Local businesses get good exposure on Hawaii Five-O |first=Steve |last=Uyehara |date=February 23, 2011 |access-date=January 10, 2012 |work=Hawaii News Now |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110226061810/http://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/Global/story.asp?S=14080415 |archive-date=February 26, 2011 }} Despite solid viewership during its first season and the ability to hold its own against powerhouses like ESPN's NFL Monday Night Football and ABC's Castle, Five-0 wasn't pulling the same ratings as CBS's flagship police procedural, NCIS. As such, Peter Lenkov outlined that the second season would have a lot more to it, promising new cast members and an expanded setting, stating, "...we wanted to explore the other islands, and I think we just never got the chance. We're going to do that this year. We have these little ambitions, and that's one of them. Because it's Hawaii Five-0 and not Oahu Five-0, they can go to the other islands. And ultimately we want to explore off the islands. It's a task force, and the idea is there are no real boundaries for them."{{cite web |url=https://screenrant.com/hawaii-five-0-season-2-characters-locales/ |title='Hawaii Five-0' Season 2: More Characters, New Locales |first=Kevin |last=Yeoman |date=June 12, 2011 |access-date=July 31, 2020 |work=Screen Rant}} But an even bigger surprise came two months later on August 18, 2011, just prior to the 2nd season premiere, when NCIS: Los Angeles star Daniela Ruah tweeted, "Aloha hoaloha! Read my lips closely... Kensi will make her way to Hawaii Five-0 this season! Stay tuned... #H50 #NCISLA", hinting that Five-0 would not only expand to other islands, but to other shows. It also left NCIS fans to speculate that Ruah was leaving her show for greener pastures. Shortly after the news was confirmed, however, Ruah tweeted that it was a one-time crossover and that she would be coming back to her regular show{{cite web |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/ncis-los-angeles-daniela-ruah-225052/ |title=CBS plans a fall crossover event for junior field agent, Kensi Blye. |first=Jethro |last=Nededog |date=August 18, 2011 |access-date=July 31, 2020 |work=The Hollywood Reporter}}{{cite web |url=https://www.tvguide.com/news/ncisla-hawaii-five0-crossover-1036476/ |title=Aloha, Kensi!

Five-0 viewers would not have to wait long for a second crossover with NCIS. At the beginning of 2012, CBS approached Brennan with the idea of a two-part crossover event for May Sweeps involving both Hawaii Five-0 and NCIS: Los Angeles to which Brennan agreed. While Brennan was thrilled about the "high-octane story" that would bring out the best in both shows, Five-0 producer Peter Lenkov was excited about exploring the relationship between the two main characters of both shows: Five-0 Task Force leader Steven McGarrett and NCIS's Sam Hanna, who became friends during their military service.{{cite web |url=https://www.tvguide.com/news/ncisla-hawaii-five0-crossover-1041500/ |title=Keck's Exclusives: Major NCIS: Los Angeles/Hawaii Five-0 Crossover Planned for May Sweeps |first=William |last=Keck |date=January 11, 2012 |access-date=July 31, 2020 |work=TVGuide}} "Chris and LL are going to come to Hawaii" Lenkov said.

Having them overlap in terms of crimes was very easy for us to do. Whether or not we'll do more is up to CBS. It's something I'd be very happy to do again." Lenkov was equally acquiescent, stating, "It just seemed like a natural to continue the relationship."

Despite the seemingly good rapport between the production crews of Five-0 and NCIS, the two shows would not see another crossover again nor was there a single crossover between Five-0 and another show until 2016, when viewers saw the debut of Lenkov's second "universe" offering, the CBS reboot of the 1985 ABC series, MacGyver. Immediately, Peter Lenkov hinted that MacGyver was not only in the same universe as Hawaii Five-0 but that he was forced to cut a scene in the pilot episode of MacGyver where Jack Dalton's sniper rifle had "ALOHA" painted on the barrel of the gun as a nod to Five-0{{'}}s Steve McGarrett. "...the idea was that he knew McGarrett...in the military. I still would like to take advantage of that," Lenkov told the press, adding, "Somehow we'll do a cross-over and those two guys knew each other. I'm hoping."{{cite web |last=Halterman |first=Jim |date=November 25, 2016 |title=Peter Lenkov on the Prospects of a MacGyver and Hawaii Five-0 Crossover |url=https://www.tvinsider.com/102987/peter-lenkov-on-the-prospects-of-a-macgyver-and-hawaii-five-0-crossover/ |access-date=August 1, 2020 |work=TVInsider}} While Lenkov's wish for a McGarrett/Dalton crossover never came to fruition (Hawaii Five-0 ended in 2020 and George Eads who plays Dalton left MacGyver in the middle of season three), the first season of MacGyver officially and firmly placed the series in the same fictional universe as Five-0 with the episode, "Magnifying Glass".{{cite episode|title=Magnifying Glass|series=MacGyver|network=CBS|date=February 10, 2017|season=1|number=15|episode-link=MacGyver_(2016_TV_series,_season_1)#ep15|series-link=MacGyver_(2016_TV_series)}} In the episode, MacGyver and the Phoenix Foundation travel to Northern California to track down a copycat serial murderer who has been mimicking San Francisco's infamous Zodiac Killer.

In the episode, The Phoenix Foundation is sent to Oahu to help the Hawaii Police Department and Five-0 with rescue and recovery efforts and ends up working closely with Chin Ho Kelly and Kono. The episode closes out with Kamekona traveling to California to cater MacGyver's birthday party with a shrimp buffet.{{cite magazine|url=https://ew.com/tv/2017/03/09/hawaii-five-0-macgyver-crossover-video/|title=Hawaii Five-0 meets MacGyver in sneak peek|last=Abrams|first=Natalie|date=March 9, 2017|access-date=February 23, 2019|magazine=Entertainment Weekly|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171026063948/http://ew.com/tv/2017/03/09/hawaii-five-0-macgyver-crossover-video/|archive-date=October 26, 2017|url-status=live}} The Phoenix Foundation was subsequently mentioned in the Five-0 episode that aired immediately following "Flashlight" when Steve McGarrett tells Kono that The Phoenix Foundation appreciated the help from herself and Chin Ho Kelly.{{cite episode|url=https://www.cbs.com/shows/hawaii_five_0/video/CrhXKbTAchVCagQJtqe4oPh4VO0_kUok/hawaii-five-0-puka-ana/|title=Puka 'Ana|last=Guggenheim|first=Eric|author-link=Eric Guggenheim|date=March 10, 2017|access-date=February 23, 2019|network=CBS|season=7|number=19|series=Hawaii Five-0|series-link=Hawaii Five-0 (2010 TV series)|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180218010247/http://www.cbs.com/shows/hawaii_five_0/video/CrhXKbTAchVCagQJtqe4oPh4VO0_kUok/hawaii-five-0-puka-ana/|archive-date=February 18, 2018|url-status=live}} After Henry Ian Cusick joined MacGyver as the new owner of The Phoenix Foundation, Cusick tweeted a selfie of himself and actor Jorge Garcia (of Five-0), proclaiming, "Look who came out to playyayy!!!" Immediately, fans speculated on whether this meant that Garcia was coming to MacGyver and reprising his role as Jerry Ortega or as a completely new character. CBS would later confirm that Garcia was going to reprise his role as Jerry in the 5th season with a Tweet which read, "Anyone call for a conspiracy theorist? @jorgegarcia (Jerry Ortega from @HawaiiFive0CBS) will guest star on an upcoming episode of #MacGyver!", confirming the next crossover event between MacGyver and the cancelled Hawaii Five-0.{{cite web |last=Venable |first=Nick |date=February 19, 2020 |title=MacGyver Will Deliver A Lost Reunion In Next Hawaii Five-0 Crossover |url=https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2490420/macgyver-will-deliver-a-lost-reunion-in-next-hawaii-five-0-crossover |access-date=August 1, 2020 |work=TVInsider}}
