Using its proven track record in social TV, USA Network and the cast of "Psych" are teaming up with the series' devoted fanbase to socially charge the first-ever, on-air "Slumber Party," Friday, Feb. 15, starting at midnight and concluding Saturday at 6 a.m. ET. The network is reinventing the viewer's choice marathon by making it a social, real-time party in which fans share the screen with the cast while watching at home. James Roday, Dulé Hill, Maggie Lawson and Tim Omundson will ham it up on screen through custom slumber party skits, while self-professed "Psych-Os" can get in on the action through an on-air Twitter ticker, video Touts, second screen trivia and prize giveaways, and GetGlue exclusive stickers. Fans can track all the "Slumber Party" activity via an online HQ, aptly named "PSYCHVille" and accessible at www.PSYCH.usanetwork.com. This one-of-a-kind event leads into the seventh season of "Psych," premiering on Wednesday, Feb. 27, at 10 p.m.
"Using the power of social innovation, we are redefining the traditional on-air marathon stunt by leveraging a tried and true nostalgic theme, and creating compelling social offerings that make it a 'must experience' event for fans," said Alexandra Shapiro, USA's EVP, marketing and digital. "This seven-hour party will harness in real time the passion and creativity of the cast, the producers, the writers and the fans who together will give new meaning to all-night TV binge watching."
The "Psych" "Slumber Party" fun will go on until dawn with live activities including:
Fans wanting to see more of "Psych" can watch a 20-episode marathon on VOD hosted by Roday and Hill who selected their favorites and personally introduce each one.
