CBS confirmed Friday that William Petersen (Gil Grissom) and Marg Helgenberger (Catherine Willows) will go behind the yellow tape, as will Ted Danson (D.B. Russell), Jorja Fox (Sara Sidle), Jon Wellner (Henry Andrews), David Berman (David Phillips), Paul Guilfoyle (Jim Brass), Wallace Langham (David Hodges), Elisabeth Harnois (Morgan Brody), Robert David Hall (Dr. Al Robbins), Eric Szmanda (Greg Sanders), and Melinda Clarke as Lady Heather.
There will be two notable absences: Elisabeth Shue, who played Julie Finlay, and George Eads, aka Nick Stokes. As EW reported exclusively, it’s unclear how the producers will deal with Shue’s absence. Eads, in the meantime, opted not to participate, according to TVLine.
Production on the special will begin July 29 in Los Angeles. The show’s creator, Anthony Zuiker, is penning the script. Executive producers on the special include Jerry Bruckheimer, Carol Mendelsohn, Ann Donahue, Jonathan Littman, and Petersen.

Julie Finlay won’t be around when the CSI gang reunites this fall.
EW has learned exclusively that Elisabeth Shue, who has played Finlay on the CBS drama since 2012, will not participate in the show-wrapping movie planned for Sept. 27. It’s unclear how the producers will handle Finlay’s absence in the flick that will serve as the show’s swan song.

Turns out not everyone will be returning for this fall’s big CSI farewell, as star Marg Helgenberger declared at Comic-Con last weekend.
TVLine has learned exclusively that George Eads has decided not to participate in the two-hour swan song, forcing series creator Anthony E. Zuiker to excise Nick Stokes from the already-completed script.
While Eads never officially signed on to the project, I’m told Zuiker and his fellow producers were hopeful that the actor would reprise his role alongside fellow CSI vets Helgenberger and William Peterson (with more names expected to be announced soon).
