It\u2019s been a few months since Macgyver \u2013 the CBS action-adventure drama \u2013 aired new episodes, with season five coming to an end in April of this year.<\/p>\n

The series, which is a reboot of the original 1985 show starring Richard Dean Anderson, sees X-Men star Lucas Till take on the role of Angus MacGyver, a secret agent who uses unusual items to create weapons for himself.<\/p>\n

Will MacGyver and his crew of trusty colleagues be back for a sixth season? Read on for everything you need to know about Macgyver and whether it will return.<\/p>

Will there be a Macgyver season 6?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Unfortunately, CBS announced in April that Macgyver would end after its fifth season, which came to a close at the end of that month.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll of us at CBS are extremely grateful for the incredible work and dedication from Lucas and the rest of the cast, as well as Monica, the writers and the entire crew,\u201d president of CBS Entertainment Kelly Kahl said in a statement at the time.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe MacGyver team traveled far and wide to repeatedly save the world with little more than bubble gum and a paper clip and made this show distinctly their own. We\u2019re gratified we get to give this dedicated and loyal fan base the opportunity to say goodbye to their favourite characters in the thoughtful manner this series deserves.\u201d<\/p>\n

Macgyver star Lucas Till acknowledged the news in an Instagram post, in which he credited his time on the show as \u201cthe most formative years of [his] life\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough all the people who said we wouldn\u2019t make it past the first 13, through all the tough times you guys always somehow brought so much joy into my life, helped me grow exponentially and you\u2019ve shown me what it means to be a real cinema team,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

Macgyver season 6 release date<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If Macgyver were to somehow be renewed or saved by another broadcaster (a la Manifest<\/a>), it would arrive in late 2022 at the earliest \u2013 however as it stands, it\u2019s unlikely that we\u2019ll see new episodes of Macgyver on our screens in the future.<\/p>\n

Lucas Till would be likely to return to star as MacGyver in the CBS reboot if it were saved from cancellation, alongside Tristan Mays (Riley Davis), Justin Hires (Wilt Bozer) and Meredith Eaton (Matilda \u2018Matty\u2019 Webber).<\/p>\n

Macgyver season 6 plot<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Despite being the last season of Macgyver, the season five finale left fans with quite a few loose ends due to the fact that the show\u2019s cancellation was announced after the filming of the last episode.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, showrunner Monica Macer recently revealed what she would have written into a sixth season, telling TVLine<\/a> that she\u2019d planned to break up Mac and Desi (Levy Tran) to make the way for Riley and Mac to get together.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were a couple of other episodes that we had already had sort of mapped out for next season. Like, we wanted to do a\u00a0Black Hawk Down\u00a0episode where we pick up the thread of Desi\u2019s fianc\u00e9 who had died \u2014 or so she thought, but we find out he\u2019s a POW at the top of the episode and we go on a mission.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was going to be our way to break up Mac and Desi (Levy Tran) and open the door for Riley. Honestly, at one point that was what we were planning for this<\/em> finale, but after a lot of conversations with the studio, it felt like a Desi episode and not a Mac episode. So, we thought we would push that to probably the first or second episode of Season 6, so that the door is open for Mac and Riley.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added that bringing Mac and Riley together was \u201calways the endgame\u201d and that had there been a season six, the fans would have finally seen them become an item.<\/p>\n

MacGyver is available to stream on NOW and Sky. <\/strong>For more to watch, check out more of our\u00a0Drama<\/a>\u00a0coverage or visit our\u00a0<\/b>TV Guide<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0to see what\u2019s on tonight.<\/strong><\/p>\n
