CSI renewed for 14th season

CSI has been ordered for a new season, bringing the show back  for a 14th season.

All of the show’s regular cast will return for the new episodes, including Ted Danson, Elisabeth Shue, George Eads and Jorja Fox.

“CSI is synonymous with CBS, and we are so proud of the series’s creative and commercial legacy and its continued success on our network,” said Nina Tassler, President, CBS Entertainment.

“The writers and producers have done an amazing job evolving CSI, reinventing the show around an incredible leading man in Ted Danson, the acclaimed Elisabeth Shue and our beloved and talented core of original cast members.”

David Stapf, president of CBS Television Studios, added: “CSI is one of the top global franchises and is seen in almost every country in the world.

“It defined feature television and its whodunnit storytelling captured audiences since the day it premiered. The addition of Ted Danson has infused new energy into the series and we couldn’t be more thrilled with its continued worldwide success.”

Last year, CSI was named the most-watched show in the world at the 52nd Monte-Carlo Television Festival.

Series star Jorja Fox (Sara Sidle) previously told Digital Spy that she expects CSI to run for “a couple more years”.

“Unfortunately in the United States there’s no shortage of crimes to tell stories about!” she said. So yeah, I’d like to see us go for a couple more years, I think we got it in us.”
