The third edition of the CSI franchise is back for another season of action in the Big Apple, where taciturn Detective Mac Taylor (Gary Sinise) and his partner, Detective Stella Bonasera (Melina Kanakaredes), lead the crime-solving team. Like his counterparts in Las Vegas and Miami, Taylor knows that people may lie, but the evidence rarely does! CSI: NY returns to TV Land from the 19th June every Monday at 21:00 KSA. Prepare for an intense ride as this hot new series takes a huge bite out of the big apple.
CSI: NY fans will get exactly what they have come to expect from CSI - more gory crimes and the baddest murderers all served up with a New York attitude. The season’s plots include a poisoned blow fish, an electrocution, a dead contortionist and a bullet eating rat! All investigated using the most cutting edge of forensic technology.
The Creator Antony Zuiker, a former Las Vegas tram driver who was surviving off ketchup sandwiches seven years ago, couldn't have picked a better time to pitch his show idea for CSI, inspired by the Discovery Channel forensic series The New Detectives in 1998. With three CSI’s being screened all over the world hitting ratings high there is also whispers of a CSI movie in the pipeline. Zuiker didn't know much about forensic science, so he spent six weeks with the Las Vegas Police Department's forensic unit. "One day I was able to ride along with them. I saw a lot of dead bodies ... and a suspect hiding under the bed. I got a big education there." The rest, as they say, is history.
The evidence is in and CSI: NY promises to be just as brilliant as the award winning season 1. Solve the crimes every Monday at 21:00 KSA on TV Land exclusively to Showtime.
