Has to be fake news. None of the entertainment sites have reported this and I don't think Bellasario would return to producing after he was expelled from NCIS. He may be given some kind of credit, but he won't really be involved. Leonard Freeman gets a credit on H5-0, but he's been dead for years.

The IMDB site added Bellisario and Glen A. Larson to the writing credits for the show but I got the impression it was probably due to the Pilot "borrowing" from the OG series............

Glen A. Larson definitely are not a part of this. :( Rest in Peace and thank you for Magnum P.I. and Knight Rider.

All of the reboots/sequels have their original creators added as Executive Producers or at least gets "based on the series/characters ... created by" by their names.
