Bangkok--1 Jun--Total Quality PR (Thailand)
On AXN (Ch.19, UBC), the heart of action and adventure television, the expert teams of steamy CSI: Miami and steely CSI: NY come face-to-face once again in what could be the most-suspenseful CSI episode. Now fans of the two series, CSI: NY and CSI: Miami can have their cake and eat it too when CSI: NY and Miami Crossover Special premieres Tuesday, June 6th at 9pm only on AXN!
The CSI teams are put to the test in 2 hours of non-stop action as they follow the trail of a cold-hard psychotic killer who has left a blaze of murders in Miami and New York. CSI Creator, Anthony Zuiker likens the crossover as a treat for viewers and as something to spice up the series. Zuiker adds that this crossover special has been the season's best work and the series will appeal to more than just the fans of the Big Apple.
The crossover is the second only crossover special to happen in the history of the world’s most popular series, since Gary Sinise made an appearance on CSI: Miami in 2004. Moreover, this crossover is the first time that a case was introduced on one CSI series and solved in another.
Viewers are in for a bigger treat — the crossover will prominently feature Madonna’s new single “Hung Up”. The dance track will first play on CSI:Miami’s “Felony Flight” and a variation of the song would be played later on CSI: NY’s “Manhatten Manhunt”. This crossover guarantees to be a moment in television history that no one should miss. Find out what happens when the teams meet this June 6 on AXN!
