There's a blurb in the latest Entertainment Weekly:
CSI: NY
Returning Drama 8-9P.M., CBS
Writing last season's finale was kind of tricky, as the writers didn't know whether the show would survive, so the gang's all here in a bar ender was positioned to give fans closure. Now that Mac (Gary Sinise) and his team have returned for a ninth season, the effects of the gunshot wound that he endured after investigating a series of bank robberies will come back to haunt him. "There are physical questions," says exec producer Pam Veasey. "There is a certain amount of trauma and questions about his mental state." Making matters worse, Mac will have to deal with a serial arsonist (Rob Morrow guests in two episodes as the prime suspect). In more New York destruction news, "we'll drain Turtle Pond!" says Veasey of the Central Park landmark. "We presume there are quite a few murder weapons at the bottom." SEPT. 28
Well there were rumors before that Mac's health will be mentioned in some way. That is natural since they continue with the story. But I have the feeling that this is the final season because there is the possibility that Mac can't go on with the aftereffects from the shooting forever. They halfway made him retire at the end of season 7.
I still hope that there will be a season 10 though...
