Although he hasn't proven to be as popular as the man he replaced, Laurence Fishburne will be sticking around CSI.

The actor has signed on for another season of the hit CBS drama.

Fishburne took over as the lead on the series last year and is now contracted through the 2010-2011 season. Ratings have dipped a bit over the last few months but CSI is still one of the most popular show on television.

The season finale airs on May 20 and, as recent CSI spoilers revealed, will focus on Fishburne's Dr. Langston squaring off against a pair of serial killers, leading up to a deadly cliff-hanger.
