CSI: Vegas will tackle potential crime lab corruption as the franchise returns in a post-George Floyd world

Variety

“It’s an enormous challenge and responsibility,” executive producer Jason Tracey said of CSI returning as police shows are more scrutinized. “Fortunately this franchise that Anthony (Zuiker) devised has always been about evidence and science and following the evidence wherever it may lead. We’re not a show where characters are running around with guns and slapping handcuffs on people directly. It’s a solving story, and it’s a science-based show and we take the responsibility of entering the criminal justice realm really seriously. We’re trying to tell some really thoughtful stories about getting justice for victims.”
