Description

edit

As Horatio faces a painful recovery from his gunshot wound, Natalia faces an emotional recovery from her near-death experience. Calleigh attempts to adopt two children, whilst Delko and Wolfe are assigned to supervise new CSI Sam Owens, a task that ends up putting Wolfe at risk. A sadistic killer, a Mexican sheriff, an eccentric genius, and a rabid dog are among the killers, witnesses, and victims this season, as the sun goes down on Miami.

Production

edit

All members of the main cast returned for this season, whilst Eva LaRue planned to depart the cast subsequently. Adam Rodriguez wrote and produced the episode "At Risk", based on the Penn State scandal. The series finale aired on April 8, 2012, but was delayed due to extended coverage of the Masters.[1] In May 2012, CBS cancelled CSI: Miami, making it the first show in the CSI franchise to end.
