Canadian Stars Jason Priestley and Cindy Sampson to Reprise Their Roles of Matt Shade and Angie Everett in Private Eyes Spinoff

TORONTO, March 18, 2025 - Today, Global announced it has greenlit a new Canadian original scripted series Private Eyes West Coast, a spinoff of the iconic and hugely popular Global Original Private Eyes, which aired on the network for five seasons from 2016-2021.

"The Private Eyes series has been such a global success thanks to our incredible partners and talented teams at Corus, Lionsgate Canada and Piller/Segan, and I can't wait for our audiences to see what surprises our new world has in store."

"This marks the first time Corus has greenlit a spinoff of one of our homegrown scripted series," said Rachel Nelson, VP, Original Programming and Head of Corus Studios. "Private Eyes resonated so deeply with viewers at home and abroad, and alongside our valued production partners, we're so excited to see Shade and Angie now on the beautiful coast of British Columbia."

"We're delighted to reunite with Corus and Piller/Segan for Private Eyes West Coast and bring back the talented acting duo of Jason Priestley and Cindy Sampson," said Jocelyn Hamilton, President, Television, Lionsgate Canada. "We can't wait to reveal the surprises we have in store for audiences in this highly anticipated new series."
