"CSI: Miami" will be one of the first shows back on the air with new episodes now that the writers strike is over. The target date for the re-launch is Monday, March 25 -- and, in order to meet that date, DAVID CARUSO, EMILY PROCTER, KHANDI ALEXANDER, JONATHAN TOGO and the rest of the cast and crew are back at work.

"It feels pretty good," Caruso tells ET, who is first on the set. "I think it was obvious it was time to come back to work, the audience was beginning to miss us. They said, 'We love the re-runs but enough.'"

And Procter reveals, "Now that we're back, we're going to do eight episodes in seven weeks. It's going to be such a run and gun."
