Psych Cast Reunites for Some Serious Social Distancing Reminiscing
If you're a "PsychO" who's been passing the time in home lockdown and self-quarantine as you're patiently waiting for news on the premiere Peacock's Psych 2: Lassie Come Home and the return of James Roday's Shawn Spencer and Dulé Hill's Burton "Gus" Guster, we're guessing you checked out USA Network's "Psych-tacular Binge-A-Thon" that ran last month. Along with marathon runs of all four seasons, Roday, Hill, Maggie Lawson, Kirsten Nelson, Corbin Bernsen, Tim Omundson, and more were around throughout the month to share their memories from the show. Now, viewers are getting a chance to share in on the fun as the crew gathers for a little group reminiscing on why the series worked so well.
Here's a Look at Psych 2: Lassie Come Home
Psych 2: Lassie Come Home reunites the cast once again when Santa Barbara Police Chief Carlton Lassiter (Omundson) is ambushed on the job and left for dead. In a vintage Psych-style Hitchcockian nod, he begins to see impossible happenings around his recovery clinic. Shawn and Gus return to Lassie's side in Santa Barbara and are forced to navigate the personal, the professional, and possibly the supernatural. Separated from their new lives in San Francisco, our heroes find themselves unwelcome in their old stomping grounds as they secretly untangle a twisted case without the benefit of the police, their loved ones, or the quality sourdough bakeries of the Bay Area. What they uncover will change the course of their relationships forever.
Co-written with Roday, Andy Berman, and director/executive producer/Psych creator Steve Franks, Psych 2: Lassie Come Home also stars original cast members Maggie Lawson, Kirsten Nelson, and Corbin Bernsen. Joining the cast Joel McHale (Stargirl), Jimmi Simpson (It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia), Sarah Chalke (Scrubs, Rick and Morty), Kadeem Hardison (A Different World, Black Monday), Allison Miller (A Million Little Things, 13 Reasons Why), and Richard Schiff (The West Wing). Psych 2: Lassie Come Home is also executive produced by Roday, Hill, and Chris Henze of Thruline. UCP will produce in association with Thruline Entertainment.
