MacArthur appeared in the original series as Danno, who is played by Scott Caan in the remake.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, executive producer Peter Lenkov explained that he is trying to persuade MacArthur to make an appearance.
"We've been talking to James about being on the show but he just doesn't know because he's busy with a business he's launching," Lenkov said. "But we'd love to have him."
Lenkov also revealed that he would like original cast member Al Harrington, who played Detective Kokua, to return.
"It still feels early in the season," he said. "We have time."
Hawaii Five-0 continues on Mondays at 10/9c on CBS.
