New York is the city that never sleeps, and neither do the forensic investigators when they get to work on a big case.
CSI: NY is the third forensic crime drama in the franchise, and probably the grittiest of them all. The cases on this show tend to be a bit more believable, almost as if they were ripped from the headlines.
As with the other two series, this one uses the high-tech science to follow the evidence and solve crimes. However, unlike the other two, the CSI's tend to do quite a bit of that dangerous police work, making this version very intense much of the time.
Originally, CSI: NY was produced in partnership with the Canadian media company Alliance Atlantis. The company dissolved after the third season in 2007 and all production is now done under the purview of CBS Paramount Television.
On December 3, 2010, CSI: NY aired its 150th episode.
On May 17, 2011, CBS renewed the show for an eighth season, with an as-yet-undetermined number of episodes.
