Psych Sees A Fifth Season On USA

USA has renewed Psych for a fifth season. The network ordered 16 episodes of the crime comedy. The series has consistently delivered solid ratings, especially in the younger demographics. USA is still finalizing its scheduling plans for January, but Psych is rumored to return for the second half of its fourth season with original episodes January 29 and will remain in its Friday 10:00 PM/ET time slot.

Psych, starring James Roday as a fake psychic with great observational skills and Dule Hill as his best friend and partner in their police consulting business, was a breakout hit for the network when it launched in July 2006 as the highest-rated USA series debut. The cast of the show also include Corbin Bernsen, Timothy Omundson and Maggie Lawson. The fifth season is expected to premiere next summer.
