Fans of CSI: New York can rest easy. The Friday night series was looking like it might be cancelled but has now been renewed for an eighth season.
Starring Gary Sinise, CSI: NY investigations follows the investigations of a team of forensic scientists and police officers in the Big Apple. It began in the fall of 2004 and currently co-stars AJ Buckley, Anna Belknap, Carmine Giovinazzo, Eddie Cahill, Hill Harper, Robert Joy, and Sela Ward.
CBS moved CSI: NY to Friday nights this season, leading many to believe that it was on its way out. The ratings have declined over the years and naturally took a big hit when it was moved. Still, the show has performed better than most other shows of the night and currently averages a 1.8 in the 18-49 demographic and more than 10 million viewers.
According to Deadline, the decision to renew came right down to the wire. Contributing factors that pushed it over the edge include the fact that the show has a profitable syndication deal and also does quite well in international sales.
Though the TV series will be back for an eighth season, it’s not decided how many episodes will be ordered. Unlike the others, it may end up being a 13 episodes season.
What do you think? Are you glad to hear that CSI: NY will return for season eight?

Definitely, PLEASE keep this show alive. It is one of the few you actually do not know the ending before it occurs. Some real brain food here.
DONT CANCEL!!!!!! PLEASE
So glad it’s going to be renewed. It’s my favorite of the csi shows. I hope that cbs will order an entire season or 22 episodes.
SOOOO GLAD IT’S COMING BACK!!! HOPE ALL THE SAME CAST WILL BE BACK!!!
I am glad they are not going to cancel CSI NY I enjoy this show very much, if networks would stop moving shows around and confusing us where the show went to. it would not look like it did not have a following.
So glad to read it is renewed. Unoriginally, I also find it is the best of all three CSIs, and since it is paired with Blue Bloods on Fridays, that channel has my undivided attention. I am really looking forward to seeing Mac’s (Gary Sinise) character development and what they do with the other characters with all of the changes that came up during the last show. Hoping it will still be a full season, I’m very much looking forward to more super Fridays coming up this fall. For once, I THANK a network for KEEPING for a good quality… Read more »
To Wai: Gary Senise has nothing to do with renewal or cancellation. These decisions are made by the suits who are interested in only one thing: eyeballs to sell to advertisers
CSI:NY is the best! WE are so happy that CBS renewed it again.
Take off all the reality shows and leave the goods, like the CSI New York alone. The reality shows are fake anyway.
I love CSI New York and I hope they renew the other 2.
The best CSI of the bunch, glad to read this. 🙂
Love CSI NY keep up the good work
CSI New York is the best of the three CSI’s. Please keep in going. Gary Sinise, don’t let the show fold.
If they’re keeping all three CSIs, then I guess there won’t be a CSI: Los Angeles.
Good News! I wonder if they take into account all the viewers who may not watch the show when it airs but DVR or TiVo it. I still miss Melena but Sela is growing on me. Time for her and Mac to do the horizontal mambo! LOL!
