Production
The series's 300th episode aired during the season, with Marg Helgenberger guest starring in the landmark episode in a series of newly recorded "flashbacks" to a case that occurred in the time frame of the first season.[1] Due to the leave of absence taken by George Eads following his altercation with a writer, he appears only in the first three episodes of the season, under the pretext of receiving special training in Quantico. Eads returned in the episode "Check In and Check Out".[2] The season also introduced a redesigned title sequence.
On February 18, 2014, CBS announced plans to launch a new spin-off of the CSI franchise, tentatively titled CSI: Cyber, with a backdoor pilot episode, entitled "Kitty", that aired April 30, 2014. Inspired by producer Mary Aiken's work as a cyber-psychologist, the new series revolves around Special Agent Avery Ryan, played by Patricia Arquette,[3] who is in charge of the Cyber division at FBI Headquarters in Washington, D.C..[4] The show was officially picked up by CBS on May 9, 2014.[5] On March 13, 2014 it was announced that CSI: Crime Scene Investigation would return for a fifteenth season, which started airing in September 2014.[6]
