Cult comedy-drama Psych is set for a return to the small screen, with series creator Steve Franks reuniting with James Roday (Shawn Spencer) and Dule Hill (Burton ‘Gus’ Guster) for a two-hour TV special set to air on USA Network later this year.
The special – which will also see the return of Timothy Odmundson (Lassiter), Maggie Lawson (Juliet), Corbin Bernsen (Henry) and Kirsten Nelson (Chief Vick) has the following synopsis: “The ambitious friends — along with some returning fan-favorite characters — come together during the holidays after a mystery assailant targets one of their own. A comedic thrill-ride follows, as the wild and unpredictable Psych team pursues the bad guys, justice… and, of course, food!”
“Psych is a beloved part of our USA family, and what better time to reunite with family than the holidays,” said Chris McCumber, President, Entertainment Networks for NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment. “Steve and James have taken the unique brand of comedy that the series honed over eight seasons and packed it in to a two-hour movie that successfully rekindles one of the greatest bro-mances in television history.”
“Psych has an absolutely phenomenal and constantly refreshing fan base. We couldn’t be more thrilled to gift our Psych-os this holiday season with Psych: The Movie,” added Jeff Wachtel, Chief Content Officer, NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment, and President, Universal Cable Productions. “Steve, James, Dulé, and the rest of the gang are all returning for a delightful holiday movie that will not — nay, dare not — disappoint!”
Psych premiered in 2006 on USA Network, and ran for 121 episodes across eight seasons before coming to an end in 2014.
