Original CSI star Marg Helgenberger is in talks to return for CSIVegas season 2. Helgenberger played Catherine Willows for 12 season on CSI. On Vegas, she would be replacing Jorja Fox and William Peterson, who left after season 1.
Original CSI star Marg Helgenberger is in talks to return to the franchise for CSI: Vegas season 2. Helgenberger previously played Catherine Willows for the first twelve seasons of the original CSI's run, returning for the show's finale in 2015. Most recently she's played the role of Judge Lisa Benner on the CBS legal drama, All Rise.
Initially billed as an epilogue to the base series, CSI: Vegas follows longtime CSI characters Sara Sidle and Gil Grissom as they investigate a conspiracy in the Las Vegas crime lab that could result in the release of many convicted killers. Both Fox and Peterson have declined to return for the second season, citing the end of their character's arcs and wanting to move on to other projects.
As well as Fox and Peterson, The Last Man on Earth star Mel Rodriguez is also not returning for CSI: Vegas season 2, having not publicly given a reason. The remaining lead cast members include Paula Newsome, Matt Lauria, and Mandeep Dhillon. The second season is expected to start filming in the summer, as was the case with the first season, if casting delays don't push back the writing of the new episodes.
It's unusual for a show to hemorrhage three cast members in such a short time, leaving the series with only three leads at the time of writing. With such a drastic change, Helgenberger's talks to return sound like a form of damage control for producers who don't want to lose the core audience of the series, built on familiarity.
