Private Eyes West Coast premieres in October.
August 17, 2026
The CW announced today that Private Eyes West Coast, the spinoff of the hit Canadian series 'Private Eyes,' will premiere on October 5. The new drama will see Jason Priestley and Cindy Sampson reprise their roles as private investigators Matt Shade and Angie Everett after they move to British Columbia.
The original 'Private Eyes' ran for five seasons between 2016 and 2021, and was licensed in over 180 territories worldwide. Ion Television carried the series in the US.
In the 10-episode first season of Private Eyes West Coast, the two P.I.'s have left behind their old firm and settled into a new life on the west coast, but their new quiet lifestyle 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 private eyes juggle the challenges of opening a P.I. firm in a new city, and 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.

A spinoff is defined as any narrative work derived from an already existing work that focuses on different aspects from the original work.
So I guess them moving to California would qualify as a different aspect. I'm also guessing all the supporting cast will be different too.

Same two actors? Further along in life? Sounds more like a "continuation." Not a re-boot or spin-off.
I never saw it but it sounds good. And I get the CW channel so I plan to check it out.

I haven't seen it yet, but if it's half as good as the original it'll still be great! Really looking forward to this one!

Enjoyed the original show, its stories and the dynamics between the 2 leads. This should be labeled a 're-boot', not a 'spin-off', as it features the same 2 main characters (Matt and Angie) played by the same actors!
