As reported previously, the
CSI franchise is among the CBS programs that have been renewed for the 2008-2009 season. Additionally, the network has also announced the return dates for the forensic dramas, beginning with
CSI: Miami, which will air new episodes on March 24. The network is reportedly planning to add eight new episodes to the 13 that were produced before the writers' strike began.
On the other hand,
CSI: NY and
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation are expected to be back in April.
New York will air the first of seven planned episodes on April 2, and
CSI will start the next night.
CSI: NY and
Miami will both end up with 21 episodes for the current season, but
CSI will come up short with only 17. The drama produced 11 episodes before the strike and is going to add six more during the next few months.
