The sixth season of Hawaii Five-0 is closer than ever.

CBS announced its fall premiere schedule on Tuesday, informing fans that McGarrett (Alex O'Loughlin) and crew will return to screens on Sept. 25 at 9 p.m. ET.

Life in paradise is looking a little turbulent now that Five-0 has another big bad to battle. Wo Fat's is in the ground, but the death-defying team will have Gabriel Waincroft (Christopher Sean) to deal with as season 6 comes off the blocks. Chin's (Daniel Dae Kim) cop killer brother-in-law will start to make his presence known in a major way as the premiere moves forward.

"[Gabriel is] definitely going to be a force to be reckoned with, and he's going to come right up, very hot out of the gate in the first episode next season," showrunner Peter Lenkov teased, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

When it comes to dealing with Waincroft, McGarrett, Danny (Scott Caan), Chin, Kono (Grace Park), and Grover (Chi McBride) may have a little extra help. Catherine Rollins (Michelle Borth) returned to Oahu during the season 5 finale, and the former Navy lieutenant has yet to buy her return ticket to Afghanistan. How long she will stick around, however, remains unknown.
