The 'CSI' Trio Gets The Green Light

CSI Files

Captain
Fans have to wait a few more weeks.

CBS announced the return dates for 14 series that will be producing new episodes for the end of the current season. The CSI franchise is among the shows that will be coming back starting at the end of next month. CSI: Miami returns first on March 24 and is planning to add eight episodes to the 13 that were produced before the writers' strike began. CSI: New York and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation will be back in April. New York will air the first of seven planned episodes on April 2, and CSI will start the next night. CSI: NY and Miami will both end up with 21 episodes for the current season, but CSI will come up short with only 17. The drama produced 11 episodes before the strike and is going to add six more during the next few months.

Two other CBS shows that will be returning in April are Criminal Minds and Without a Trace. Minds leads in to New York and will premiere the same night and produce the same number of episodes to add to the current season (making a total of 20 episodes for the drama in its third season). Trace will return alongside CSI on April 3 and, like the forensic drama, produce six additional episodes for a total of 18 in its sixth season.

Looking beyond the current season, CBS has already renewed 11 series for this fall. The CSI franchise is on the list, and Criminal Minds and Without a Trace made the cut as well. Cold Case, NCIS and Ghost Whisperer are among the other series given the go-ahead for another season. Some shows, such as Shark (which aired after CSI last season) and the freshman series Moonlight, still have undecided futures at this point.

Yay for the franchise! It's no surprise that they have all been renewed for another season, but it's still great to have an official announcement, and so soon, I'm sure they left it much later last year until it was announced. :)

As for the new episodes this season, that is fantastic news for the fans and for all the people involved in the productions, I'm sure they'll be glad to get back to work. :)
 
Wee! :D So glad to see an official announcement, this is great news for the franchise. Sucks that CSI won't be getting its regular number for the season but it's quality, not quantity, heh.

This whole ordeal has made me a lot more appreciative of the writers. It's good to hear they're back at work and happy to be there. :)
