After more than a decade, CBS has cancelled the “CSI” series. Several fans were surprised when the network announced the lineup for their new shows and renewals and the show was not in it.

Despite the cancellation, fans of "CSI" however has still something to look forward to. The hit procedural series will end with a two-hour movie feature that will see the return of some of the show's original cast members such as Gil Grissom (William Petersen) and Catherine Willows (Marg Helgenberger).

As reported by IGN, after CBS confirmed that "CSI" has been cancelled it tried to appease the viewers by adding that there would be a two-hour movie TV event to commemorate the "epic finale." It airs on Sept. 27.

"[CSI] is very important to the network. It was one of the shows that helped us reverse our directions. I'm very happy we can send it off in the right way," said Kelly Kahl.

As observed by Deadline, when the season 15 finale of the series aired, it left several questions unanswered. Julie Finlay (Elisabeth Sue) was still in a coma, which left many viewers to believe that the episode was not intended to be how the show runners would end the series.

"By getting a proper good-bye, 'CSI' would break the pattern of long-running and hugely profitable franchise crime procedurals getting abrupt cancellations with no send-off, which was the case with NBC's 'Law & Order' and CBS' 'CSI: Miami' and 'CSI: NY,'" the report read.

The first season of "CSI" was released back in 2000 and ran for 23 episodes. Since then, there had several spin-offs, such as "CSI: Cyber," "CSI: Miami" and "CSI: New York."

"CSI:Cyber" which has just been released this March will continue to air. It was mentioned that D.B. Russell (Ted Danson) will still be seen in the series as a recurring character.
