The ninth season of CSI: Miami premiered on CBS on October 3, 2010 and ended May 8, 2011. The show was on a special time Sunday 8/7c from January 2–16. The series stars David Caruso and Emily Procter. Adam Rodriguez rejoin as main cast.

Whilst the team reels from Cardoza's murder, Horatio and Calleigh find themselves battling old foes and new criminals. The CSIs investigate murders at a roller-derby, a high school, a human-hunting club, and a college, whilst Natalia finds herself the victim of not one, but two, kidnappings, and Horatio finds himself the victim of a gunshot wound. An explosion at a sugar refinery, a vampire cult, and a visit from a long-dead relative round out the deadly penultimate season of CSI: Miami.
