Will the third time be the charm for CBS and Alex O’Loughlin?

Undeterred by the back-to-back failures of Moonlight and Three Rivers, The Eye net is courting O’Loughlin to headline the freshly-greenlit remake of Hawaii Five-O, sources confirm.

“Talks are ongoing,” says the insider. “CBS really wants to do another series with him.”

The original Five-O — which starred Jack Lord as Det. Steve McGarrett — ran on CBS from 1968-1980. The update is being shepherded by Fringe writer-producers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, as well as CSI: NY e.p. Peter Lenkov.

At press tour last week, CBS president Nina Tassler reiterated her strong desire to stay in business with O’Loughlin. “We love him,” she said, “and want him to stay around a long time.”

After a period of speculation, it became official Wednesday–Alex O’Loughlin has been booked to play Detective Steve McGarrett in the pilot for CBS’ “Hawaii Five-0″ remake, reports THR.

“Hawaii” marks O’Loughlin’s third consecutive pilot at CBS. His previous series “Moonlight” and “Three Rivers” both went to series but failed to move beyond an additional season. CBS is nonetheless high on the actor, hoping he will soon break out the way Simon Baker did on “The Mentalist.”

“Lost” regular Daniel Dae Kim had previously been cast in the remake.
