The CW Picks up New Spin-off With Wild Cards' Jason Priestley
-------------------------------------------------------------
A familiar detective duo is heading back to screens with a fresh
setting and bigger stakes. The CW has officially added a new
spin-off of the popular Canadian series starring Wild Cards'
Jason Priestley. The move signals the network's continued push
into character-driven procedural dramas.
The CW picks up Private Eyes West Coast with Jason Priestley
The CW Network has greenlit the spin-off titled Private Eyes West
Coast, led by Jason Priestley and Cindy Sampson, who return as
Matt Shade and Angie Everett. The show builds on the original
detective comedy-drama that ran for five seasons and developed a
steady fan base. Corus Entertainment initially ordered this new
chapter and already has a second season confirmed (via Deadline).
Unlike their earlier setup, the story shifts the duo to the West
Coast, where they attempt to start over. Their plan for a quieter
life quickly falls apart when they stumble into a murder case.
A woman found with a bloody knife becomes the center of suspicion,
but Shade and Angie believe there is more to the story. That
belief pulls them straight back into investigative work.
The season follows their struggle to rebuild from scratch in a new
city. Without their old contacts in Toronto, they face fresh
challenges while taking on intense cases. These range from
searching for a missing student in British Columbia to dealing
with dangerous suspects along the coast. The shift in location
adds a new tone, mixing scenic settings with high-risk
investigations. The show will air later this year on The CW.
Behind the scenes, the show comes from Lionsgate Canada and
Piller/Segan. Priestley also directs two episodes while serving as
an executive producer. Network president Brad Schwartz said the
team is "thrilled" to bring the series into the fall lineup,
praising its mix of humor, action, and strong chemistry.
Lionsgate's Jocelyn Hamilton added that the network is the
"perfect" platform to continue the story of these characters.

Tour Subject is wrong. It's a spin off from Private Eyes, but a
Vancouver and no longer a Toronto-based production. Also, the C-Wub did
not greenlight it, merely purchased it as foreign programming. It will
air in the United States after completing its Canadian broadcast.
IMDb got it wrong too, listing it as a United States production, which
it ain't.
All the "news" stories rewrote the Deadline article and failed to do any reporting. Why not just cite Deadline?
