To celebrate the popularity of Psych, the USA Network has ordered two additional episodes for the eighth season, and, for the first time ever, fans will have the opportunity to vote for one they want to see appear on-air. The results will be announced when Psych makes its fifth annual return to San Diego’s Comic Con on July 18.
Fans can start making their voices heard on Wednesday, June 26, via http://www.usanetwork.com/contet/psych-episode-vote, and cast their vote for one of the following storylines:
- TELETHON – In a classic “whodunit?” case with a Psych twist, Shawn and Gus investigate a murder that Shawn is convinced was committed by the beloved host of Santa Barbara’s annual Children’s Hospital Telethon.
- DREAM THERAPY – From acclaimed director James Roday (“Mr. Yin Presents…”, “Heeeeere’s Lassie”), comes a new vision in terror: “Nightmare on State Street!”
- FOOD TRUCK – When the well-known owner of a beloved Santa Barbara food truck is mysteriously murdered, Shawn and Gus, fans of delicious flavor, are determined to solve the crime as only they can.
The results will be announced in San Diego where Psych kicks off two days of action starting on July 17 with an exclusive midnight screening of the highly anticipated “Psych: The Musical,” a two-hour special episode airing this winter on USA. The following day, the network will host a characteristically hilarious Psych panel during Comic-Con with the winning storyline revealed by the cast.
Hosted at the Reading Cinema in the Gaslamp district, the advanced screening festivities will begin the afternoon of Wednesday, July 17. Fans at the event will have an exclusive opportunity to download a track from the musical, made available as part of a partnership with Shazam. The event will be free and open to the public on a first-come, first-served basis.Psych fans can register here to attend: http://www.usanetwork.com/content/psych-the-musical.

Panelists include James Roday, Dulé Hill, Corbin Bernsen, Maggie Lawson and Timothy Omundson, along with Kirsten Nelson.
