What You Should Expect When CSI: Vegas Returns to the Lab This Fall

Quote:
If there's one thing CBS excels at, it's leaning into formulas that work, so it's no surprise that the wildly successful CSI franchise will be returning to the original scene of the crime this fall when the latest iteration of the show returns to where it all began: Las Vegas. In addition to returning to Sin City, fans will also be happy to know they'll see some of their favorite CSI characters returning to their old stomping grounds

The returning CSI veterans include William Petersen as Gus Grissom, Jorja Fox as Sara Sidle, Wallace Langham as David Hodges, and Paul Guilfoyle as Jim Brass. Executive producer Anthony Zuiker revealed that they have more surprises in store as the season progresses and in keeping with the past, they will be doing "some demented stories." Executive producer Jason Tracey previously told TV Guide Magazine, "Someone's targeting the lab. A conspiracy calls into question the integrity of the work we always saw get done. Thousands of prior convictions hang in the balance."

While there's a new challenge ahead, there will be plenty to remind fans of the series they originally fell in love with. For starters, diehard CSI fans will be thrilled to see Petersen and Fox as Grissom and Sidle again.

Grissom and Sidle will be dealing with a lot of new faces both in the lab and in the field. Paula Newsome (Barry) plays Maxine Roby, the head of the Crime Lab who knows what DNA can and can't reveal and the major thing it can do is help the team eliminate potential suspects and help them hone in on the culprit. Matt Lauria (Kingdom) plays Josh Folsom, a Level 3 CSI whose attention to detail is impressive. Mandeep Dhillon (Star Wars: Epiosde IX - The Rise of Skywalker) plays Allie Rajan, a Level 2 CSI. The crew's new medical examiner is Hugo Ramirez, played by Mel Rodriguez (The Last Man on Earth).

And the newbies have had to hit the ground running. Lauria teased having to pull double duty learning a new character and everything that goes along with working in the CSI lab at the same time.

CSI: Vegas premieres Wednesday, October 6 at 10/9c on CBS.
