CW Sets Premiere Dates

The CW has set the premiere date for Private Eyes West Coast as October 5 at 8 p.m. and Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent will premiere its second season on the same day at 9 p.m.

Private Eyes West Coast stars Jason Priestley and Cindy Sampson as private investigators Matt Shade and Angie Everett. The show is a spinoff of the Canadian series Private Eyes and is produced by Lionsgate Canada.

Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent, on the other hand, stars Aden Young and Kathleen Munroe as Detective Sergeants Henry Graff and Frankie Bateman. The show is produced by Lark Productions and Cameron Pictures in association with Universal Global Television and Citytv. Tassie Cameron is the showrunner and executive producer of Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent.

Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent has received several nominations at the Canadian Screen Awards, winning for Best Drama Series in 2025. The CW acquired the first two seasons of the show in May 2025.

## What's Next The premiere of these two shows marks an exciting development in The CW's fall schedule. Private Eyes West Coast will debut with a 10-episode first season, while Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent will continue to investigate high-profile homicides based on real-life headlines in Canada.

## Background The Law & Order franchise has expanded significantly over the years, with non-U.S. versions like Law & Order UK and Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent. The latter series is based on the similarly titled Law & Order: Criminal Intent, which aired for 10 seasons from 2001 to 2011. The Canadian adaptation premiered on Citytv in 2024 and has been well-received by audiences.

The CW's decision to premiere these two shows on the same day is likely to attract a large audience, given the popularity of the Law & Order franchise and the intrigue surrounding Private Eyes West Coast. With the shows airing on Mondays, fans can expect a thrilling night of crime-solving and investigation.
