CSI: Vegas Season 2 - What We Know So Far

As of press time, "CSI: Vegas" has not yet been renewed for a second season. If it's picked up this month, fans can expect a bit of a delay before the show resumes filming — it's likely that "CSI: Vegas" won't resume production until the spring or summer of 2022, along with most other prime time series. That means the second season of "CSI: Vegas" would likely debut sometime in the early to mid-fall of 2022. 

Though we don't currently know the fate of "CSI: Vegas," one might be able to look towards the show's performance in the ratings to determine whether or not more episodes may be in the cards. Since bowing in October of 2021, "CSI: Vegas" has performed adequately, though not spectacularly, in its timeslot. Per TV Line, its most recently aired episode has stayed steady with its series premiere, garnering a 0.4 in the ratings. But the series has dipped as low as 0.3 in recent weeks. Nevertheless, the end result is viewership of 3.97 million people, bringing "CSI: Vegas"' timeslot up by 54% compared to what CBS drew with other programs during the 2020-2021 season (via Variety). 

But "CSI: Vegas" has had difficulty competing with the "One Chicago" juggernaut; per Variety, the series' direct competition, "Chicago P.D.," pulled in a 0.7 rating with 5.61 million viewers on the night of "Vegas"' debut. Per TVLine, While "P.D." has dipped as well, they haven't fallen quite as far, staying at around a 0.6 from week to week. CBS will likely take this all into consideration when they choose which shows to cancel and which ones to renew.
