“CSI is synonymous with CBS, and we are so proud of the series’ creative and commercial legacy and its continued success on our network,” said CBS Entertainment President Nina Tassler in a statement.
Danson, a veteran of several other series including “Damages” and “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” joined “CSI” in 2011 following the exit of Laurence Fishburne, who never really connected with fans of the show.
