PRIVATE EYES WEST COAST Acquired By The CW

Private Eyes West Coast will be airing in the US after being acquired by the CW.

The show is a continuation of Private Eyes, the Toronto set crime procedural ran for five seasons (2016 – 2021). Jason Priestley and Cindy Sampson starred in the comedy drama.

Shade (Priestley) and Angie (Sampson) have left behind their P.I. firm and settled into a new life on the West Coast, but their new quiet life is shaken when a night out lands them at the scene of a murder. A woman stands over her dead boyfriend with a bloody steak knife in hand. Believing in her innocence, Shade and Angie dive headfirst back into the high-stakes world of investigation.

The first season will consist of 10 hour long episodes and will air later this year. The show filmed across Vancouver island and has already completed season one filming. Global TV renewed Private Eyes West Coast ahead of the first season’s Canadian release.

Shawn Piller and Lloyd Segan are executive producers on the series. Executive-producing for Lionsgate Canada are Jocelyn Hamilton and Darren Giblin. Lionsgate Television handles international distribution.

Brad Schwartz, President of The CW Network had this to say:

“We are thrilled to welcome Private Eyes West Coast to our fall lineup and to continue working with the immensely talented Jason Priestley on another CW series. We are also excited to expand our partnership with Lionsgate, as well as collaborate once again with the Piller/Segan team, who have made Wild Cards the network’s most-watched scripted series of the year and have created yet another show packed with humor, action and undeniable chemistry between its two leads.”
