From Las Vegas to Miami to finally the Big Apple, Join Golden Globe and Emmy Award winner Gary Sinise in the highly anticipated third series from the world’s most successful crime series franchise, as a brand new team of criminal forensic scientists leave no stone unturned to put New York City under the microscope!
In the gritty city of New York, Detective Mac Taylor (Gary Sinise) leads a team of dedicated CSI agents who view the city in a different light - that of under the microscope. Including his workaholic partner, Detective Stella Bonasera, Mac’s team includes Danny Messe, a Brooklyn-born investigator with a colorful family history, Dr. Sheldon Hawkes, a reclusive coroner, and Aiden Burn, a smart and sexy investigator whose chameleon-like behavior allows her to adapt to any situation at any time.
With the trademark elaborate crime-scene reconstructions, famed micro-photography sequences and compelling storylines brought to you by award-winning blockbuster producer Jerry Bruckheimer, CSI: NY delivers a winning formula with its cutting-edge forensics wrapped in mystery and technological sophistication, magnified for the first time in the city that never sleeps.
This critically-acclaimed new series has also already won numerous accolades, including:
2005 People’s Choice Award nominee for Favourite New TV Drama
2004 Favourite Newcomer TV Guide Award Nominee for Carmine Giovinazzo
Currently rated one of the top 10 shows on U.S. network television
EPISODE ONE, SEASON ONE
When two bodies turn up within days of each other, showing signs of having met the same killer in their dying moments, Mac Taylor’s investigations lead him to another victim - one who is still alive. As Mac delves deeper into the mystery of this woman who can no longer speak, feel, or move, he begins to make chilling discoveries about the killer’s bizarre methods of abduction and thought processes.

Stella Bonasera (Melina Kanakaredes)
Detective Stella Bonasera forges a close partnership with Mac Taylor as his second-in-command. Passionate about her job, extremely capable, and unashamedly workaholic, she can be found hard at work as much as the city she grew up in stays awake. With an unflinching character and a refusal to back away from any confrontation, she is the model of dedication and hard work, and expects just as much of her team and others around her.
Melina Kanakaredes captivated audiences for five seasons as Dr. Sydney Hansen in the critically acclaimed television series Providence, and her other television credits include New York News, Leaving L.A, NYPD Blue.
