Pysch is returning!
The popular show has already confirmed that a new film was on the way. Now the upcoming film has a new title, release date, and a home. The movie formerly known as Psych: The Movie 2 will now be known as Psych 2: Lassie Come Home, the movie’s holiday release window has been pushed back to April 2020. Instead of premiering on USA Network, where Psych ran for eight seasons from 2006 to 2014, it will instead premiere on NBC Universal’s planned streaming service, Peacock.
The title, besides being a play on Lassie Come Home, is also an acknowledgment that in the first Psych movie, there was not much of Santa Barbara Police Chief Carlton Lassiter seen in the film, played by Lucifer’s Timothy Omundson. The reason for this is because Omundson suffered a stroke not long before production on the movie began, and in this installment, Omundson is back.
Along with the film, Peacock will reportedly host all eight seasons and both movies of Psych.
