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?

u bet i’m glad. we love all the csi’s shows. friday night is the best lineup for the week. if they put one more reality show on tv i’ll throw up. oh i’m also a senior citizen.
glad that they are puting it back on it is one of the best shows on
This is one of the best CSI shows. I love CSI Miami and New York. Please don’t cancel it. It’s hard to understand this rating stuff. It seems all good shows are shown at the same time but on different stations to compete with each other. Therefore, we lose a lot of good shows that would otherwise be popular. Anyway, don’t cancel csi New York.
I do not understand why you would cancell csi ny, if you are going to cancell programs cancell surivor or the amazaning race instead of the ones that older people like me watch I am very disappointed with cbs
This is one of my very favorite shows – Please DO NOT cancel this one. I would love to see a full 24 episode season.
I was so worry that CSI New York was going to be cancelled. I really enjoy the show and with Sela Ward, shes great. The whole team has great chemistry.
CSI NY is my favorite CSI show. It out performs the other CSI shows combined. The actors involved in this show bring not only their talent, but warmth and humanity also. The addition of Sela Ward’s character has brought and shown the strength, intelligence, charm, and humor of a woman in such a profession. To only allow 13 episodes for Season 8 is an injustice to the people associated with this series. Make the committment CBS, and show that there are executives remaining who have some intelligence!
please continue csi new york, one of the best crime shows on tv. sela ward is a great addition. very upset you took it off so abruptly. please bring it back!
Csi ny is must better than the Miami csi. So if one has to go let it Miami
i love this show always have always will why r u people taking all the good shows off whats up with that
Praise the Lord csi is coming back but you need to make the complete season for us and not cut it short we want to see as many episodes as shown every year, please. Will get lots of dvds for the season.
I have been watching the CSI series from the original CSI, so please. don’t cancel any of the CSI series.Let them run for at least 10 more seasons.
