The CW Mondays This Fall; Lifetime's Powerful September Movie Events

The CW Network announced the new procedural Private Eyes West Coast starring Jason Priestley (CW's Wild Cards) and Cindy Sampson (Supernatural) will debut on Monday, October 5 (8:00-9:00pm ET/PT), followed by the Season 2 premiere of Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent starring Aden Young (Rectify) and Kathleen Munroe (City on Fire) from 9:00-10:00pm ET/PT.

Private Eyes West Coast is a spin-off of the popular Private Eyes series that ran for five seasons and licensed in more than 180 territories worldwide, with Priestley and Sampson reprising their roles as private investigators Matt Shade and Angie Everett. In the ten-episode first season, Shade and Angie have left behind their P.I. firm and settled into a new life on the west coast, but their new quiet life 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.

Season 2 of Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent returns with Toronto's brightest detective duo, Detective Sergeants Henry Graff (Young) and Frankie Bateman (Munroe), who see clues others may have missed and always solve even the toughest of cases using their own unique set of investigative skills. With the help of the Specialized Criminal Investigations Unit—their boss, Inspector Vivienne Holness (Karen Robinson), Deputy Crown Attorney Theo Forrester (K.C. Collins), pathologist Dr. Lucy Da Silva (Nicola Correia-Damude), and tech expert, Mark Yohannes (Araya Mengesha)—Graff and Bateman tackle the most high-profile homicides in the city inspired by some of Canada’s most infamous headlines, exploring the complexities of family, love, money, and power in Toronto.

Lifetime announces two additional movies inspired by actual events joining its Strength of a Lifetime September movie event. Kicking off with the previously announced Robin Roberts Presents Angel in the Rubble: The Genelle Guzman Story, starring Sherri Shepherd and Dondré Whitfield, on Saturday, September 12 at 8/7c, the event continues with two all-new original movies: Sole Survivor of Flight 119, starring Joy Bryant and Sarah Wayne Callies, premiering Saturday, September 19 at 8/7c, and The Ocean Between Them, starring Rebecca Gayheart, Jessica Lord and Gayheart's real-life daughter, Georgia Dane, premiering Saturday, September 26 at 8/7c.
