CSI: Vegas Star Exits Ahead Of Season 2, Explains Why She's Leaving

screenrant.com:

CSI: Vegas star, Jorja Fox, announces she won't be returning for the show's second season and recently explained why. CSI: Vegas was initially billed as an epilogue limited series, before being renewed, to the original CSI, which aired its final episode in 2015 after 15 seasons. Fox and co-star, William Petersen, reprised their roles as Sara Sidle and Gil Grissom from the base show, both actors having long tenures on the original.

CSI: Vegas follows Sidle and Grissom out of retirement as they must contend with a conspiracy that may bring down the Las Vegas crime lab and release many convicted killers. The series blends a more serialized approach with its usual week-by-week murder cases that define procedurals like CSI. The first season of CSI: Vegasalso features Paul Guilfoyle and Wallace Langham reprising their roles from the original series.

Now, Fox has tweeted out the news that she won't be returning to the series for the second season. She cites how Petersen's return influences her decision, saying that separating the two characters again would go against how she portrays Sidle, given their marriage in the series. She goes on to give a shout-out to the team behind the show and says she still intends to watch and follow along. Read Fox's tweets below:

Hey all you <a href=«https://twitter.com/hashtag/CSI?src=hash&ref_src=» https: screenrant.com>#CSI

fans! After much deliberating, I have decided not to ‘Sidle up’ for CSI Vegas. For me CSI has always been a love story. The story that people can find love in the darkest of places and times. (1)

Thanks for watching everyone!!! Keep tuning in! I know I will. CSI VEGAS has an incredible team and it should be an amazing
