CBS has canceled CSI: Cyber, marking the end of the long-running CSI crime drama franchise on the network.

Variety reported the cancellation of the show, which aired its Season 2 finale in March. CSI: Cyber appeared to be on the chopping block that same month, when it wasn't among the 11 returning series CBS gave early renewals to (Criminal Minds, also not on that early list, has since been renewed).

CSI: Cyber was the third spinoff of the original CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, after CSI: Miami and CSI: New York. It failed to capture the impressive audience of the other CSI series though, averaging 8.5 million viewers according to Nielsen estimates. While CSI: Cyber only aired two seasons, the other shows in the franchise were all huge hits - CSI: Miami ran for 10 seasons, CSI: New York for 9 and the original CSI for 15 seasons before its conclusion last year.

If CSI: Cyber had returned, it would have done so without Ted Danson, who moved from the original CSI this past year, but has since joined the upcoming NBC comedy The Good Place.

With the end of CSI: Cyber, this will be the first time in 16 years CBS will not have a CSI series on the air.
