Last week the hit USA series Psych ended its impressive eight-year-run. However, it didn’t take the show’s lead, James Roday, long to land back on his feet. Roday has already scored the lead role on the upcoming CBS sitcom, Good Session. However, that is a chance that we could also see the return of Shawn Spencer and the gang. Rumor has it that producers are talking about making a Psych movie.
James Roday won over a small cult following on the long running USA series Psych. The smooth talking charmer is now taking his talents over to network TV, where he will star in the CBS pilot, Good Session. In the new sitcom, Roday will play a school guidance counselor. Tracey Ullman will also star in the show.
Meanwhile, Psych creator Steve Franks recently spoke to E! Online, where he made mention of a Psych movie:
“We know we were going to be in our last year, and then I had to start writing it, and I didn't realize just how challenging writing a finale was going to be...I started watching other shows' finales to see how they did it, and I realized I didn't really like any of them. They felt different from the show I remember, and it just became such a daunting task, and I didn't want it to be a downer, and I wanted it to feel like a regular episode. I wanted it to feel like these characters were going to live on, they were going to be having adventures and doing things, and we were just not seeing them for the time being, until the studio ponies up for a feature film, or something like that.?”
E! went on to beg Franks for more info about the possible movie:
“It could be that, but most importantly, we could send them to any city...we can play with all of that and them coming into a new environment, because they're such creatures of habit, and it really seemed like a rich sort of thing. Whether we were taking them to Mexico or Canada or London, we've taken them out of their element, so it seemed like a natural progression that this show would become a series of movies, and whether or not anybody is interested in financing that, that's the big question. But am I willing and excited to do it? I'll start this afternoon!”
