CSI: Vegas Season 4 - Cancelation & Everything We Know

Summary CSI: Vegas returned for season 3, but season 4 has been canceled.

The show was canceled before season 4 despite strong viewership numbers on CBS.

The cast of CSI: Vegas season 4 would have likely included the entire main cast from season 3 as well as some new faces.

Originally billed as an epilogue to the long-running CSI, CSI: Vegas returned for a third season but has been canceled before season 4. CSI: Crime Scene Investigation premiered in 2000 and revolutionized the procedural police genre by introducing state-of-the-art forensics into the storytelling. The 15-year original run saw the series branch off into various spinoffs, and like many other hit procedurals, CSI became a television institution up to its feature-length finale in 2015.

CSI: Vegas debuted in 2021 as the fifth series in the CSI franchise, and was initially meant as a denouement to the beloved original series that had already been off the air for five years. However, Vegas began to build its own fanbase and CBS quickly renewed the "limited series" for a second season with a few cast changes. Flash forward to 2024, and CSI: Vegas season 3 premiered on February 18th in its new timeslot on Sunday nights. Unfortunately, CBS has opted to cancel CSI: Vegas before its fourth season.

CBS Has Axed CSI: Vegas

With the third season of the popular procedural well underway, CBS made the shocking move of canceling CSI: Vegas before its fourth season. The decision is somewhat baffling because of the popularity of the show, and the move is likely to make room for CBS' new slate of shows that are expected for the 2024-2025 season. CSI: Vegas wasn't the only strong performer that was canned by CBS, and the network also gave the book to the dramedy So Help Me Todd which was in the middle of its second season.

The Entire Main Cast Would Have Returned

Close

Unlike most procedurals which stay consistent from season to season with their casts, CSI: Vegas saw quite a bit of a shakeup after season 1. Fortunately, things settled down in seasons 2 and 3, and it was expected that the entire main cast would have returned in season 4, barring some major change during season 3's story. New characters would have undoubtedly been added in supporting roles, but it is impossible to speculate about specifics.

CSI: Vegas season 3 premiered on February 18, 2024.

The entire returning cast for CSI: Vegas season 4 was expected to include:

Actor CSI: Vegas Role Paula Newsome Maxine "Max" Roby Matt Lauria Joshua "Josh" Folsom Mandeep Dhillon Ahalya "Allie" Rajan Ariana Guerra Serena Chavez Jay Lee Christopher "Chris" Park Lex Medlin Beau Finado Marg Helgenberger Catherine Willows

CSI: Vegas Season 4 Story

What Could Have Happened In Season 4?

It is impossible to guess what the plot of CSI: Vegas season 4 might have been. The spinoff follows in the footsteps of its predecessor by seeing its CSI team investigate a case-of-the-week while occasionally sprinkling in an ongoing arch that is contained within the seasons. Season 3 currently sees Josh (Matt Lauria) incarcerated for a crime he likely didn't commit, but that thread will probably be wrapped up before the season's end. CSI: Vegas season 4 would probably have gotten its own interesting storyline, but fans may never get the chance to see it.
