"Psych: The Movie" is a two-hour television movie based on the USA Network dramedy series, Psych. The TV movie follows the Psych characters three years later in San Francisco, since the series finale in 2014. The movie will air on December 7, 2017 on USA Network.[1]

Steve Franks wrote the movie with series star, James Roday, and directed the movie. Once the series wrapped, Franks immediately had the idea to bring the Psych universe back in movie form later on. Franks hopes to make five more Psych movies, following Psych: The Movie.[2]

Production

On May 8, 2017, USA Network announced Psych: The Movie.[3] All the original main cast will return for the TV movie, which will be directed by series creator, Steve Franks, and screenplayed by Franks and series star, James Roday. Zachary Levi was later announced for the movie, as the main villain, "Thin White Duke,",[4] while Jazmyn Simon - Hill's real-life fiancée - plays Selene, a romantic interest for Gus.[5] On July 5, 2017, WWE Superstar Charlotte Flair announced that she will be in Psych: The Movie as Heather Rockrear.[6]

On June 28, 2017, former guest star Ralph Macchio joined the cast reprising his role as Nick Conforth,[7] the police academy officer who trained Shawn and Gus in season 5. Principal photography took place from May 25 to June 18[8][9] in Vancouver, British Columbia. It was later announced that Omundson would have a reduced role due to a stroke, but would still appear. In addition, Kurt Fuller and Jimmi Simpson were confirmed to be reprising their respective roles of Woody Strode and Mary Lightly.

At a Comic Con gathering, Steve Franks also announced he hoped to make five additional TV movies, and was looking to the Fast and Furious franchise for inspiration.[10]

On October 7, 2017 at New York Comic Con, the cast announced the movie would be released on December 7, 2017 on USA Network.[11]

Plot

"Three years after the series finale, 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!"[12]
