Yes it's now official - that with Grissom leaving the show in episode 9x10 - his replacement is going to be a professor, who originally joins the Vegas team as an expert witness - and ends up joining the team as a CSI - having a very large role in solving the Warrick Brown/McKeen case. He comes in with a secret, and a lot of the later episodes in Season 9 and going on to Season 10 will focus on this secret as a storyline.
On deciding who to have as Petersen's replacement, "Without hesitation, we said Laurence Fishburne. He is a powerful and intense actor, with an incredible range." Said Naren Shankar and Carol Mendelsohn in a recent interview. "CSI," which begins its new season October 9, is ready to deal with Petersen's loss."
Although the writers have not yet determined or revealed a name for Fishburne's character, as soon as more details about this character come to light, youll find them here! (Feels good to be back!)
