The spinoff will explore a world where technology has amplified human behavior to the point where faceless criminals are committing crimes at global proportions with a touch of a button. Avery Ryan, special agent in charge at the Cyber Crime Division of the FBI in Quantico, Va., is tasked to solve high octane crimes that start in the mind, live online, and play out into the real world.
“CSI” creator Anthony E. Zuiker is writing and executive producing, along with “CSI” writers/producers Carol Mendelsohn and Ann Donahue. “CSI” executive producers Jerry Bruckheimer and Jonathan Littman are also on board to executive produce the spinoff.
