Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT One of CBS' longest-running crime franchises has come to an end again as CSI: Vegas has been cancelled along with So Help Me Todd. The former show served as a revival of the iconic police procedural, featuring the return of most original stars, including William Petersen, Jorja Fox and Marg Helgenberger.
Deadline has brought word that CBS is trimming down its roster of titles as it has cancelled both CSI: Vegas and So Help Me Todd. In regard to the crime show, the news comes as somewhat of a surprise given it's part of one of the network's longest-running franchises and was seeing improvements in its season 3 ratings.
CSI: Vegas' Fate Is Due To Another CBS Crime Franchise The end of CSI: Vegas isn't the first time the police procedural franchise has found itself without a definitive future. Prior to the most recent show's three-season run, there was a seven-year hiatus between installments after the poorly received CSI: Cyber was cancelled after just two seasons.
Ultimately, even if ratings were improving for the show, CSI: Vegas' cancellation could actually be chalked up to that of fellow CBS crime franchise, NCIS. The past few months have seen the network order two different spinoffs for the franchise, one focused on a Young Gibbs entitled Origins and another centered on Tony DiNozzo and Ziva David.
Related NCIS Season 22: Confirmation & Everything We Know NCIS has become a bona fide TV institution in its two decades on the air, and now the beloved procedural is slated to return for season 22. So Help Me Todd's cancellation can also be chalked up to genre competition within the network as CBS gears up for the Kathy Bates-led Matlock reboot to premiere sometime in the 2024-25 schedule.
