'Hawaii Five-0' Adds Three Cast Members After Fallout Over Recent Exits

“Hawaii Five-0” is shoring up its cast as two mainstays sail off into the sunset.

Ian Anthony Dale, Meaghan Rath and Beulah Koale are joining the CBS procedural as series regulars for Season 8, the network announced on Wednesday. The new season launches Sept. 29.

CBS previously announced that Daniel Dae Kim and Grace Park are exiting after contract negotiations broke down. Their departures led to renewed questions over whether Hollywood is indeed making advancements toward inclusivity.

Rath (“Being Human,” “New Girl”) will portray Tani Rey, a former Police Academy castoff who joins the squad after working as a lifeguard at a hotel pool.

Is "Stranger Things" back in the Upside Down? Will "Timeless" get its time machine back? Is "The Good Place" really the Bad Place? Here are 10 TV cliffhangers we can't wait to see resolved.

Just as one shooting got solved, another was presented, as a mysterious assailant held up Pop's diner and shot Archie's dad -- with Jughead's ominous voice-over telling us this was no random robbery gone wrong.
The CW
"Westworld"
Samurai World? Samurai World! Also, we're not sure who's really dead.
HBO
"Stranger Things"
Mike touched his bathroom mirror and his world -- and ours -- transformed back into the Upside Down again. What does it mean?

Good thing this got uncancelled, because the time-travel drama dropped two big twists as mysterious, villainous organization Rittenhouse took control of the time machine.
NBC
"Once Upon a Time"
The fairy tale drama offered closure to the majority of its current characters, and set up a planned reboot for Season 7, with a grown-up Henry getting a visit from a woman who claims to be his daughter. "Your family needs you," she said.
