Are you ready to return to the world of CSI? Three actors have been cast in the CSI: Vegas sequel series project. If it gets the go-ahead from CBS, Paula Newsome, Matt Lauria, and Mel Rodriguez will star in the new series which focuses on the CSI team in Las Vegas. William Petersen and Jorja Fox (above) are working on deals to also return to the franchise.
Though it was initially conceived as a one-time event series, CSI: Vegas could become an ongoing show. The possibility of a sequel series was first mentioned last February as a way to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the franchise.
Deadline revealed the following about the plot of the CSI: Vegas revival series:
“Facing an existential threat that could bring down the Crime Lab, a brilliant team of forensic investigators must welcome back old friends and deploy new techniques to preserve and serve justice in Sin City.”

What do you think? Are you excited for the return of CSI on CBS? Would you watch the new CSI: Vegas?
YES. I loved the show and I’m excited that the original people will be back. Can’t wait
I would love to watch it!! Loved CSI and would be so happy to see this sequel.
Great show have watched the reruns a hundred times!
Yes I would definitely watch it!
Yes I would watch it
Sounds much better than another stupid game show or so-called talent show!
Can’t come soon enough. Television can use some good entertainment.
Reboots… reboots everywhere (ok, they call it sequel here but c’mon). Without original cast there is no point in doing this show.
Yeah I would watch it, but you need to do it justice. I loved it when it was on watched every episode, even all the spinoffs (Miami, New York, cyber) . I still watch the re-runs. If it does come back, there needs to be elements of the old team in there, and to have Grissom and Sarah is great(especially Grissom).
Also loved the crossover’s
Yes. My husband and I would watch it. Loved the original show. Please bring back William Peterson and some others from the original show. Would be great.
YES!!!
YUK…NO Thanks!
William Petersen was the best! Won’t be the same if he’s not in it. Love CSI! It was the first and the best.
Wasn’t the original set in Vegas? Why not just call it CSI then? It’s not like there are any other CSI shows on at the moment to compete to where there’s confusion.
We’re definitely excited as we’re currently taping and watching the original CSI: Crime Scene episodes! Can’t wait!
