Cameras are set to roll on Private Eyes West Coast, as Global, Lionsgate Canada, and Piller/Segan confirm production kicks off on Thursday, June 5, 2025 on Vancouver Island. The new ten-episode spinoff series sees Canadian stars Jason Priestley and Cindy Sampson return as Matt Shade and Angie Everett – TV’s favourite private investigators – now navigating a fresh set of mysteries in their new West Coast home base of Victoria, B.C.

With the Pacific Ocean as their backdrop and a new cast of characters joining the action, Private Eyes West Coast promises a sun-soaked, suspense-filled season. Picking up after the events of the original hit series – which ran for five seasons on Global (2016-2021), won the CSA Golden Screen Award, and was licensed in over 180 territories worldwide – this spinoff brings back the quick-witted, sizzling chemistry, and high-stakes detective work that made Private Eyes a fan favourite across Canada and around the world.

Production is set to run through the summer, with the first look at Shade and Everett’s new coastal digs coming soon. Additional information including casting and storyline details will be announced at a later date.

The series comes from Lionsgate Canada and Shawn Piller & Lloyd Segan, the award-winning, writer-driven studio known for premium, character-centered series including Wild Cards (CBC, The CW), The Dead Zone, Haven, Wildfire, Greek, and the original Private Eyes. Corus Entertainment is the commissioning broadcaster with Rachel Nelson, VP, Original Programming and Head of Corus Studios, and Lynne Carter, Director, Original Programming, overseeing the production. Lionsgate Television handles international distribution.

“We’re thrilled to reunite Jason and Cindy for this next chapter of Private Eyes, and to be reteaming with our longtime partners at Corus and our good friend Jocelyn Hamilton, along with our extended Lionsgate family,” said Piller & Segan, Executive Producers. “Victoria gives us a new cinematic canvas and a chance to evolve the series in fresh and unexpected ways. This is a west coast reinvention– same sharp wit, same beloved lead characters, brand new mysteries, with stunning new views.”

“Private Eyes West Coast builds on the brilliance and charm that made the original series a hit, while introducing a bold new setting and cast of characters in this spinoff. We’re thrilled to partner with Piller/Segan, and Corus to bring a fresh, west coast energy to the franchise,” said Jocelyn Hamilton, President, Television, Lionsgate Canada. “Audiences are in for a smart, stylish ride that stays true to the heart of the original while blazing its own trail.”

“We’re thrilled to see cameras roll on Private Eyes West Coast in British Columbia” said Rachel Nelson, VP, Original Programming and Head of Corus Studios. “Together with our talented partners at Piller/Segan and Lionsgate Canada, this new spinoff series will offer some new surprises with the same Shade and Angie banter that our Global viewers love.”

Executive Producers are Sarah Dodd (Cardinal, Family Law), Jennifer Kassabian (Hudson & Rex, Degrassi: Next Class) and Jocelyn Hamilton (Cardinal, Burden of Truth), in addition to Piller and Segan. Kassabian and Dodd also serve as Showrunners.

Director’s Statement

Growing up with a family member who was never allowed to “come out” and lived in the shadows of his true self, I was inspired to shed light on a dark time in history. Through my extensive research, which included PhD theses on homosexual persecution in communist Yugoslavia, I discovered the remarkable resilience and unwavering strength of those who fought for their right to be different and authentic. Despite the persecution and imprisonment, they never gave up. This film pays tribute to their courage, but it is also about our power of love to conquer hate and a call for acceptance and understanding in our polarized world.
