From 2016-2021, Jason Priestley and Cindy Sampson starred in the enjoyable procedural, Private Eyes, about a Canadian hockey player turned private investigator who teams up with a woman who just inherited her dad’s firm. When the show ended, fans wanted more. And this Fall, they are getting just that on The CW.
The two actors will reprise their roles on Private Eyes: West Coast. 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 her hand. Believing in her innocence, Shade and Angie dive headfirst back into the high-stakes world of investigation.
This season, the private eyes juggle the challenges of opening a P.I. firm in a new city. Without their friendly Toronto network of sources, Shade and Angie work to build a new community. From tracking down a missing student in the wilderness of British Columbia to extracting a murder confession from a surfer in Tofino, Shade and Angie prove life on the west coast is packed with heart-pounding thrills.
“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,” said Brad Schwartz, President, The CW Network. “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.”
It looks like Priestley will be doing double-duty on The CW. He is also starring in Wild Cards with the people behind Private Eyes.
