What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the CBS television network, the CSI: Vegas TV show stars Marg Helgenberger, Paula Newsome, Matt Lauria, Mandeep Dhillon, Jay Lee, Ariana Guerra, and Lex Medlin. Sara Amini and Joel Johnstone recur. Amidst the neon lights and long shadows, dark threats continue to lurk in Sin City. Maxine Roby (Newsome) leads her team of brilliant Crime Scene Investigators as they use science to solve baffling cases. Working together are veteran Catherine Willows (Helgenberger), Level III CSI Josh Folsom (Lauria), Level II CSI Allie Rajan (Dhillon), Level I CSI Beau Finado (Medlin), CSI Christopher Park (Lee), homicide detective Serena Chavez (Guerra), Chief Medical Examiner Sonya Nikolayevich (Amini), and Jack Nikolayevich (Johnstone), an assistant medical examiner and Sonya’s older brother. These professionals deploy the latest forensic techniques to do what they do best — follow the evidence — in order to preserve and serve justice.
Season Two Ratings
The second season of CSI: Vegas averaged a 0.29 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 3.33 million viewers in the live+same day ratings (includes all DVR playback through 3:00 AM). Compared to season one, that’s down by 28% in the demo and down by 10% in viewership. While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. Though other economic factors are involved, the higher-rated shows usually get renewed and the lower-rated ones get cancelled. Find out how CSI: Vegas stacks up against other CBS TV shows.
CSI: Vegas has been renewed for a third season which will debut on February 18, 2024. Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Will CBS cancel or renew CSI: Vegas for season three? Last season, CSI: Vegas was the network’s lowest-rated scripted series in the traditional ratings to be renewed. However, the season nearly doubled its viewership when the live+seven day numbers were factored in. I suspect that, given the popularity of the CSI franchise in first-run and syndication, CBS was expecting the show to be a bigger hit. I think the execs have the big picture in mind and will keep this show going, despite mediocre ratings, because a new series is a way to add new content and interest to an already profitable franchise.

What do you think? Are you glad the CSI: Vegas TV show has been renewed for a third season? How would you feel if CBS had cancelled this TV series instead?
It’s not very good and Paula Newsome is terrible. Just another woke tv series with bad actors.
I can’t get to watch the show on my phone , it never pops up on time , I’m a loyal watcher if this since the first one I seen in high school … I think if they’d stop lagging we’d get better viewers
We must have Season 3! It’s a wonderful show.
Keep it going! We love it! Watch it every week!
I love the new CSI Vegas!! It’s one of my favorite shows. I hope they renew it!!
I love the original CSI. and after watching the new CSI VEGAS “I’m hooked and I love it!!! Im hoping they renew it for a long time!!!”
The show needs two veteran actors, Billy Petersen and Jorja Fox, to return to make this show watchable. The other characters can not carry this show and Marge’s character has always been boring.
I disagree. Max carries the show, & the entire team is believable ; attractive as scientists & detectives. Marg is & has always been a wonderful member of the group.
Peterson & Fox may come back, but they’re not essential for the show’s success.
Love the show cos Vegas I faithfully watch it Every week along with taping the episodes.i hope there are others that support this show,for I do not want to see it cancelled.
The Reason I think it’s failing because of time slot. Now it’s harder to watch because people are going to bed earlier 10:00 PM on a week day and no access to dvr’s. My Wife and I are true fans, now we keep missing the shows. Sorry CBS, try moving it to an earlier time slot and it might take off again.
Please don’t cancel. It’s in’s of the best shows on TV at this time.
Love this show great cast bring back . Jerry Brockhelmer is the best producer and creative since original series too,
I am above that demographic as I am sure many are of the original show so, please get real people.
It’s a great show and if it is cancelled, shame on you CBS for listening to the culturally dead.
