Psych: The Movie – A Glimpse into the Future of the Series?
The USA network is once again allowing us to delve into the lives of our beloved detectives with the release of a two-hour holiday special, Psych: The Movie. This has left fans wondering if there’s more in store for the future of Psych than just a single movie. After all, we’re currently in the age of revivals, so why shouldn’t Psych join the movement? With eight successful seasons under its belt, there’s no doubt that many fans would be thrilled to see new episodes of the series today.
The idea of a show revival isn’t far-fetched, particularly if the movie performs well in terms of viewership. We predict it will be a hit, and we’re quite certain that USA has something up their sleeve. There might be discussions about the possibility of the faux psychics making a comeback, but first, we need to consider whether the cast is up for the challenge.
Are the Cast Members Ready for a Revival?
According to actress Kirsten Nelson, who portrayed Karen Vick in the series, there’s definitely potential for a revival, especially with the movie exploring new plotlines and stories for the characters. The film includes elements that were never part of the series, which could serve as a smooth transition into a revival. Actor James Roday, who played Shawn Spencer, has stated that he’s completely open to a revival as long as it’s what the fans want. He’s already confirmed that he’s on board if the network decides to go down that path.
We haven’t heard anything from co-star Dulé Hill, who played Shawn’s best friend Gus, but he did reprise his role for the upcoming movie. In fact, all the actors who played their characters in the series have returned for the film. Could this be a sign of things to come? It’s still uncertain, but we’ll likely get a better sense of it after seeing the group together again on December 7. It has only been three years since the series finale, which isn’t a very long time in revival standards. It took Gilmore Girls nearly a decade to return to the screen, and Full House over 20 years to come back with Fuller House.
A Step Towards a Full-On Revival
Regardless, the movie serves as a step towards a complete revival. After all, we’d prefer it to be done right, with the entire cast on board before any premature revival takes place. It’s easy to ruin something as fantastic as Psych once was, and we’d hate to see it return only to meet its downfall (much like what happened with Full House). However, we know there are more stories to be told in the Psych universe, and we’re confident that the movie will not disappoint. This might be the perfect opportunity to binge-watch the entire series before the movie’s release this holiday season. You’ll want to be prepared for when USA announces a comeback for the show.
