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?

I AM GLAD THEY ARE COMING BACK,I WOULD RATHER WATCH CSINY THEN THE OTHER CSI PROGRAMS
I am soooo glad that CSI:NY has been renewed and hopefully will be renewed for many years to come! I also wish Melina Kanakardes would return to the show, miss her very badly. Sela Ward just doesn’t cut it with me, but other than that I absolutely love the show! If you have to cancel one of them why don’t you CANCEL HE ORIGINAL CSI: CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION! Ever since you killed off Warrick and Grissom left the show it just hasn’t been the same. No offense to Laurence Fishburne, I think he is a great actor just not William… Read more »
This was the only CSI I ever watched. I watched every one from the start and was never disappointed. I was so sad to see the move to Friday but now so happy you are bringing it back! Don’t toy with us fans…do a full season please and then let it end with dignity and an actual ending. Gary Sinise plays his character so well (tough love, someone you want to impress and are scared of). PLEASE ONE MORE FULL SEASON!
Please don’t end this show, I am from Sri Lanka and love to watch CSI New York, after all CSI is now on its 11th Season, so why can’t CSI NY also go on? I am a huge fan of CSI NY and CS Miami, and it is hugely popular with the University as it is shown to the students who study forensics.
Please do not end the show.
was glad to hear csi:ny and csi:miami were renewed.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CSI NY has the best characters and stories in the franchise. I’m sooo glad it will be back, (hopefully for 20 something episodes, not just 13).
so happy thank you for renewing. gary sinise is the best actor and entertainer !
I’m am very pleased to hear that the show will be back. It is one of my favorites. Keep it coming.
I, too, am happy that CSI NYC is coming back. The writing is consistenly good. My hope that Melina Kanakardes will come back thought. Sela Ward has been poor substitute.
Like this show, big fan of Mac. Glad it will still be with us.
Im super happy…..I love the show!!!
I agree with “BAR” and “NanerBananer” glad they are keeping CSI NY. I had to watch record so I could watch it later. Can the reality
