CSI: Vegas Is Based On The Original CSI: Crime Scene Investigation
Longtime fans of the long running CSI franchise of crime procedurals will remember that it all started with Gil Grissom (William Petersen) and his team of crime scene investigators in the Las Vegas CSI unit. That first show spun off several successful spinoffs including CSI: Miami, CSI: NY and CSI: Cyber. Several original cast members will return, including Petersen, Jorja Fox as Sarah Sidle, and Paul Guilfoyle as Detective Jim Brass.
Not returning are Marg Helgenberger as Catherine Willows nor George Eads as Nick Stokes, although the actors have been seen recently in “All Rise” and “McGyver” respectively. Wallace Langham will also return as David Hodges. The flagship program ran from 2000-2015 and had several personnel changes over the years. CSI fans will remember that each CSI spinoff featured the music of “The Who” although no information on the theme song for the new CSI:Vegas has yet been released.

CSI: Vegas Spoilers – How Can Any Truth Be Trusted?
The CSI:Vegas teaser says that truth lies here, which in itself teases of a possible double meaning. Can anything considered the truth even be trusted is the question in the back of their minds. The question for the combined CSI team is exactly how will they take down a criminal who can fake everything from evidence to old case files and alter them, possibly by hacking into CODIS and other systems?
How does the science determine what is true when someone can alter what the science has previously proven? In this era of misinformation, or is it information? – the ancient quote of Pontius Pilate comes to mind; “What is truth”?
Stay tuned to CSI:Vegas and keep checking CSI:Vegas spoilers frequently for all the latest news, updates and developments!
Looking forward to the return of CSI Vegas.
