Marg Helgenberger will return to her famed role of Catherine Willows from the original “CSI,” this time as a series regular in the second season of “CSI: Vegas”.
Helgenberger deal is for one year and comes after her former original “CSI” co-stars William Petersen and Jorja Fox exited the ‘Vegas’ revival after one season.
Revival regulars Paula Newsome (Maxine Roby), Matt Lauria (Joshua Folsom), and Mandeep Dhillon (Allie Rajan) will all be back but Mel Rodriguez won’t return as medical examiner Hugo Ramirez.
Showrunner Jason Tracey has also indicated they hope to bring more people back not just from “CSI” but from the other spin-off shows like “CSI: Miami,” “CSI: NY” and even the short-lived “CSI: Cyber”.
He says: “Anthony Zuiker, who created this franchise, maintains a pretty fantastic rolodex of all those actors. We’re going to get in the writers’ room and figure out where we can take it, who we can invite to come play.”
