The cast of “Psych” will reunite for a second movie to air on the USA Network late 2019.
James Roday, Dule Hill, Maggie Lawson and the rest of the long-running series’ cast will return for the tentatively titled ”Psych: The Movie 2”. The sequel will have the characters returning to Santa Barbara to help Lassiter (Omundson), the city’s police chief, after he is shot and left for dead. In a Psych-style nod to Hitchcock, Lassiter starts seeing impossible things happening around the clinic where he’s recovering. Shawn and Gus find themselves unwelcome in their old stomping grounds and try to untangle the case without the help of police, their loved ones or the quality sourdough bakeries they’re used to in the Bay Area. What they uncover could change the course of their relationships forever. [More…]

So you could come into it without knowing anything about the previous stuff and get into it. But it is consistent with all the mythology that has come before, so it is in canon.” Brad Dourif will reprise the title role but at this stage he’s the only returning cast member from the films to get a lead spot in the series.
