New season will feature 100th episode milestone and long-awaited two hour musical

USA Network's hit comedy series "Psych" returns for its much-anticipated seventh season on Wednesday, Feb. 27, 2013, at 10 p.m., with 16 new one-hour episodes. This season, the network's longest running series will celebrate its landmark 100th episode and unveil the long-awaited two-hour musical.

"Psych" stars James Roday as police consultant Shawn Spencer who solves crimes with powers of observation so acute the precinct detectives think he's psychic. Dulé Hill stars as Shawn's best friend and reluctant sidekick, Gus. Corbin Bernsen as Shawn's disapproving father, who ironically honed his son's "observation" skills as a child. Timothy Omundson plays Det. Lassiter. Maggie Lawson is Det. Juliet O'Hara. Kirsten Nelson portrays Chief Vick, and Kurt Fuller recurs as "Woody" the coroner.

Season seven will explore Gus' personal life, feature the wedding of one of the main characters and deliver new "Psych-isms" crafted for the series' legions of devoted fans, affectionately known as "PSYCH-O's." Parminder Nagra will recur as Gus' girlfriend, exposing his romantic side and creating jealousy with Shawn. Additional guests include Katy Mixon, Garcelle Beauvais, Jeffrey Tambor, WWE's Big Show, as well as the return of Cybill Shepherd and Kristy Swanson.

To celebrate the series' 100th episode, "Psych" will host a mini-reunion of the popular 1985 movie "Clue" featuring original cast members Christopher Lloyd, Lesley Ann Warren and Martin Mull. The episode will also include guest stars Garrett Morris, Steve Valentine and returning guest star Curt Smith - of Tears For Fears' fame - who will play himself. The long-awaited two-part "Psych: The Musical" - an epic nod to the colorful word of musical theater - will showcase original songs written by show creator, Steve Franks, and performed by the entire cast with a host of impressive guest stars including Barry Bostwick, Brooke Lyons and Anthony Rapp.

While awaiting the return of their beloved show, fans can play the Emmy nominated "Psych: Hashtag Killer," a suspenseful thrilling "whodunit" experience allowing fans to engage in a storyline specifically created for this experience, allowing them to send and receive messages directly with Shawn (Roday) and Gus (Hill), in an effort to solve the case.

"Psych's" sixth season proved to be the show's most watched among P18-34 with 1.12 million, while showing growth among P18-49 (2.24 million) and P25-54 (2.22 million).

"Psych" is executive produced by Franks, Kelly Kulchak and Chris Henze, from Universal Cable Productions in association with Tagline Pictures. Mel Damski serves as executive producer/director. Bill Callahan is executive producer. Saladin K. Patterson, Andy Berman and Todd Harthan are co-executive producers/writers. Kell Cahoon is consulting producer.
