A new series about con artists is coming to Prime Video, but this time it’ll have a small twist. With so many shows focusing on the crimes of men, this one aims to look at women who have been just as conniving. Allison Janney and her producing partner, Chris Henze of Thruline, approached media tycoon Bob Greenblatt to develop a new anthology series based on the novel Confident Women: Swindlers, Grifters, and Shapeshifters of the Feminine Persuasion by Tori Telfer. The novel chronicles many notorious women, and the series will center on one woman’s cons each season. The first is set to look at the crimes of Sante Kimes, who along with her own son, was found responsible for two murders. Greenblatt, a former executive at NBC, WarnerMedia, Showtime and Fox, has a first-look deal at Lionsgate through his new company, The Green Room. The executive was happy...

Bob Greenblatt is partnering with “The West Wing” star Allison Janney and writer Alexa Junge (“Grace and Frankie”) to adapt the book “Confident Women” into an anthology series for Amazon Prime Video.

The project reps the first TV project for Janney, who is attached as a non-writing executive producer alongside her producing partner, Thruline’s Chris Henze. Janney and Henze brought the idea to Greenblatt, the former NBC, Showtime, WarnerMedia and Fox exec who has been busy as of late in amassing a new stable of projects in development.

Written by Tori Telfer and released last year, the book chronicles female con women in a range of different stories over the last several decades.

“I think it’s a really cool way to tell some female-oriented stories, but with a bit of a darker twist,” Greenblatt told Variety. “It’s not ‘Dahmer.’ It’s not about serial killers. But these...

The Psych universe has been around since 2006.

While the series is over, the franchise remains alive thanks to movie spinoffs, and, of course, the fans.

Psych 3: This Is Gus premieres on Peacock Thursday, November 18, and TV Fanatic got the chance to speak to the cast and crew ahead of broadcast.

"The Psych-os are the best," said Dulé Hill of the devoted fanbase.

"They've been on this journey with us since 2006. We're now in 2021. And the love just keeps building and growing," the actor added before saying he enjoyed working with everyone associated with the project.

He said they always look forward to coming back.

"It's a wacky bunch, and the story always seems to keep unraveling in ways that we don't expect," Hill added.

Maggie Lawson revealed that it surprises her that people are still talking about the show almost 16 years later, but she said none of it...

Yes, Shawn and Gus, there is such a thing as a Peacock streaming service. And, as with the previous movie, it will be the home for Psych 3 in November.

In was announced at New York Comic Con that Psych 3: This Is Gus will premiere on Peacock Thursday, Nov. 18. A trailer for “the sequel to the sequel” was also released, and it lays out the boys’ latest mystery to solve, reveals a spiffy new Lassie and of course trots out some silly pseudonyms for the BFFs.

Peacock is back for more “Psych,” ordering a third movie based on the cult favorite USA series. “Psych 3: This Is Gus” will be the second film to be available on the NBCUniversal-backed streaming service.

In preparation for a shotgun wedding before the birth of Baby Guster, Shawn (James Roday Rodriguez) and Groomzilla Gus (Dulé Hill) go rogue in an attempt to track down Selene’s (Jazmyn Simon) estranged husband, as Lassiter (Timothy Omundson) grapples with the future of his career.

Franks and Rodriguez will co-write. “This Is Gus” hails from UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group, in association with Thruline Entertainment.

The wait is almost over, “Psych” fans. Among the many offerings that will be available when NBCUniversal’s new streaming service, Peacock, launches nationwide Wednesday is “Psych 2: Lassie Come Home,” the long-awaited sequel to “Psych: The Movie.”

Now, seeing as it’s been a while since the first “Psych” film debuted on USA Network in December 2017 — and even longer since the detective dramedy series ended its eight season run in 2014 — we’re willing to bet that even the most die-hard fans don’t remember exactly where we left things with Shawn (James Roday) and Gus (Dulé Hill). Well, don’t worry, because we’re here to recap it all for you so that you’re fully prepared for the premiere of “Psych 2: Lassie Come Home” tomorrow.

Ok, so “Psych: The Movie” takes place three years after the series finale, with Shawn, Gus and Juliet (Maggie Lawson) still living in San Francisco,...

It’s been six years since “Psych” aired its series finale on USA Network after an eight-season run, but the property is hardly out of cases for its central detective duo.

“Even on the pilot, I was saying we’re going to do five seasons and a movie, and as we got past five seasons we had to just start upping our expectations,” said creator Steve Franks during Atx Television Festival’s virtual reunion panel Sunday. “Then we stopped speculating on the seasons and I added it to six movies. So we got eight seasons, six movies; we’re in two. I think if we start speaking it into existence, it’ll start to happen.”

With a loyal fanbase that’s still clamoring for more shenanigans and a creative team whose bonds only grow stronger with time, there’s still ambitious plans to keep following these characters into the future.

The creators and cast of Psych joined this year’s virtual edition of Atx Television Festival with a pre-recorded panel where they gave a sneak peek at the forthcoming movie sequel Psych2: Lassie Come Home, which will debut on July 15 when NBCU’s new streaming platform Peacock launches. Show creator Steve Franks and executive producer Chris Henze were joined by stars James Roday, Dule Hill, Kirsten Nelson, Maggie Lawson and Corbin Bernsen to talk about the show’s journey, how the sequel brings happiness to fans and the return of Timothy Omundson, who suffered from a stroke and has since recovered.

Franks said that when the pilot first aired he wanted five seasons and a movie and as the show moved forward, he upped expectations with the number of seasons and movies. “We knew when we finished the first movie, we wanted to do a second one…we kind...

“A Quiet Place” producers Brad Fuller and Andrew Form are teaming up with “Psych” duo Steve Franks and Chris Henze on a horror comedy at Amazon.

Deadline has reported that Amazon has put in development for ”Mitchcraft,” an “aspirational horror”(their words) series with a relationship-comedy base, where a small town fire marshal inadvertently harnesses supernatural forces and becomes a witch.

It’s an eclectic concept and won’t shy away from ridiculousness — in Franks’ words. It’s also a series that its creators seemed destined to make, given their pedigrees. Franks and Henze executive-produced “Psych” (the former also created the series), a detective comedy about a young crime consultant who makes a career out of pretending to be a psychic. The series, which premiered in 2006, garnered a dedicated following throughout its eight-season run before concluding in 2014. The series also included a two-hour musical episode in 2013, followed by a TV...

Exclusive: Amazon has put in development Mitchcraft (working title), a hybrid comedy series from the Psych duo of creator/executive producer Steve Franks and executive producer Chris Henze of Thruline, and the Fully Formed Entertainment duo of Brad Fuller and Andrew Form who are behind such hit horror feature franchises as A Quiet Place, The Purge and Ouija.

Mitchcraft is in “a newly-invented sub-genre: Aspirational Horror” and aims to “make scary fun again,” Franks said.

Described as a two-handed relationship comedy with a genre twist, Mitchcraft follows a small town fire marshal who realizes he may have inadvertently harnessed the power of the supernatural and become, for lack of a better term, a witch.

Mitchcraft’s origins can be traced back to the slew of popular horror parodies on Franks’ USA crime dramedy Psych.

“Over the course of Psych, we had the opportunity and freedom to play with different genres,...

Psych 2: Lassie Come Home is building out its cast. Allison Miller will join her A Million Little Things co-star James Roday, along with Sarah Chalke (Scrubs), Kadeem Hardison (A Different World) and Richard Schiff (The West Wing) in the movie set to air later this year on Peacock, NBCU’s upcoming streaming service.

The film, which is named after Tim Omundson’s Santa Barbara Police Chief Carlton Lassiter, will explore the marriage between Shawn, played by Roday, and Maggie Lawson’s Juliet after the pair’s nupitals at the end of the first movie.

Written, directed and executive produced by Psych creator Steve Franks, Psych 2: Lassie Come Home focuses on Lassiter, who is ambushed on the job and left for dead. In a vintage Psych-style Hitchcockian nod, he begins to see impossible happenings around his recovery clinic. Shawn and Dulé Hill’s Gus return to Lassie’s side...

It’s taken longer than expected but the second Psych movie is set to air this spring and star Maggie Lawson is already hoping for more.

Psych 2: Lassie Come Home was originally planned to launch last year but moved from USA Network to forthcoming streaming service Peacock. Lawson told Deadline that it will air this spring after the NBCU platform launches in April.

The film, which is named after Tim Omundson’s Santa Barbara Police Chief Carlton Lassiter, will explore the marriage between Shawn, played by James Roday, and Lawson’s Juliet after the pair’s nupitals at the end of the first movie.

“One of the things I love about this movie, this time around is, I feel that for Shawn and Juliet there’s been eight years of ‘will they, won’t they,’ then it was ‘they will,’ then there was like a little, ‘where are we,...

Exclusive: Talent manager Johnny Webster has joined Beverly Hills-based management/production company Thruline Entertainment.

Webster moves to Thruline from Industry Entertainment, where he spent the last three years, after stints training at management companies Impression Entertainment and New Wave Entertainment. He began his Hollywood career in production and then casting.

Webster brings a client list to Thruline that includes J.

Exclusive: Fox has given a script commitment with substantial penalty to a drama revolving around female FBI agents from The Resident supervising producer Jen Klein; executive producer/showrunner Todd Harthan; and 20th Century Fox TV, where Harthan is under an overall deal.

These women juggle complicated personal lives while playing at the top of their professional game. Their friendship is a source of strength and camaraderie as they work together on high-stakes cases while also navigating the dangerously messy politics of one of the most powerful intelligence agencies in the world.

Klein executive produces with Harthan, Thruline’s Ron West and Chris Henze as well as Stanton. The project is a co-production...

Psych: The Movie 2 is taking shape with the teasing of two guest stars.

Series vet Timothy Omundson — who for the sequel will fully reprise his role as Police Chief Lassiter (after sitting out nearly all of the first TV-movie as the actor recovered from a stroke) — teased on Twitter that (a barely obscured) Joel McHale will be a “very special guest star” for the follow-up.

Westworld‘s Jimmi Simpson meanwhile tweeted out a video in which he steps off a Psych-branded longboard (covet!) to suggest that he will put in another encore, having played the Mr. Yang-obsessed, dearly departed police psychologist Dr.

Management-production company Thruline Entertainment has elevated Alexandra Peck to Director of Development from her previous position as Development Coordinator. The promotion coincides with Peck’s fifth anniversary at the company.

Peck trained as an assistant at the Beverly Hills-based management-production firm before transitioning into full-time development in 2017. As Development Coordinator, Peck has helped oversee the company’s first-look deal at A+E Studios, as well as its development and production slate. Thruline’s active production slate includes two series on Netflix (Bumping Mics and Historical Roasts), a second Psych reunion movie for Ucp/USA, and the recently-announced first season pick-up of the Hulu series, The Great.

“Alex has become an integral part of our growing development and production efforts, said Thruline founders Ron West, Chris Henze, Jb Roberts and Willie Mercer in a joint statement. “She is well-read and incredibly organized, and she comes in each day with amazing ideas for...

The “Psych” team is officially coming back for a second movie.

USA Network has officially greenlit a sequel to the 2017 movie, which was itself a follow-up to the 2014 series finale. Production will begin in March in Vancouver. Series stars James Roday, Dulé Hill, Maggie Lawson, Kirsten Nelson, Corbin Bernsen and Tim Omundson will all return.

The team reunites when Santa Barbara Police Chief Carlton Lassiter (Omundson) is ambushed on the job and left for dead. In a Hitchcockian nod, he begins to see impossible happenings around his recovery clinic. Shawn (Roday) and Gus (Hill) return to Lassie’s side in Santa Barbara and are forced to navigate the personal, the professional, and possibly the supernatural. Separated from their new lives in San Francisco, our heroes find themselves unwelcome in their old stomping grounds as they secretly untangle a twisted case without the benefit of the police, their loved ones, or...

USA has finally given the go-ahead to a second “Psych” movie, with all of the original cast members on board to return.

“Psych: The Movie 2” is slated for a “late 2019” premiere, the network announced on Thursday, with James Roday, Dulé Hill, Maggie Lawson, Kirsten Nelson, Corbin Bernsen and Tim Omundson all set to return.

A follow-up to 2017’s “Psych: The Movie,” itself a follow-up to the detective dramedy that ran for eight seasons on USA, the new film will pick up after Santa Barbara Police Chief Carlton Lassiter (Omundson) is ambushed on the job and left for dead. In what’s described as “a vintage ‘Psych’-style Hitchcockian nod,” he begins to see impossible happenings around his recovery clinic.

Fox has given a script commitment plus penalty to an hour-long female-focused FBI drama from former Queen Sugar showrunner Monica Macer, Thruline and 20th Century Fox TV.

Written by Macer, the Untitled FBI Women Project (aka The Tribe) is inspired by journalist and author Doug Stanton’s interviews of women in law enforcement. It is a character-driven drama set inside the New York City field office of the FBI featuring the stories of three female agents as they struggle to balance their professional and personal lives. The series explores the personal lives of our heroines juxtaposed with the demands of protecting America from its greatest threats.

Macer executive produces with Thruline’s Ron West and Chris Henze. Stanton also executive produces.

Macer served as showrunner in Season 2 of Own’s Queen Sugar. She previously joined Nashville in Season 2 as a supervising producer rising to co-executive producer on Season 4, its last season on ABC.

Overall and first-look deals still drive the television business.

Although some mega-producers have moved to the streaming world, including Ryan Murphy and Shonda Rhimes at Netflix, the overwhelming majority of pacts are still at the studio and linear network level. These deals help lock in show services, as well as keep the development pipeline flowing.

Here is a snapshot at most of the deals currently in place across Hollywood, as of mid-May.

Matthew Berry’s fantasy has come to life, and now its coming to Fox.

Fox is buying into Kevin Connolly‘s Fantasy Life, giving a pilot order to a comedy executive-produced by and starring the Entourage alum.

The multi-cam hybrid (think How I Met Your Mother) — based on Matthew Berry’s book of the same name — revolves around a hard-working guy who lands his ultimate dream job hosting a fantasy football show. He’s forced to navigate office politics while becoming the star he never thought he could be.

Tim McAuliffe (Bad Teacher, Up All Night) will pen the pilot, with Berry and 3 Arts’ Michael Rotenberg, Jonathan Berry, Greg Walter and Troy Zien also serving as executive producers.

For the first time in its 11-year history, Thruline is promoting someone within the management company to partner. That’s Steve Kavovit, who joined Thruline as a manager in 2004. His clients include two-time Emmy winner Eric Stonestreet (Modern Family), Chris Lowell (Enlisted), Dakota Goyo (Real Steel), Reece Ritchie (Hercules), Adhir Kalyan (Rules Of Engagement), Yael Grobglas (Reign), Lee Ingleby (Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban) and Sydney Tamiia Poitier (Chicago Pd). Kavovit joins the four existing partners, Thruline founders Chris Henze, Ron West and Jb Roberts, as well as Willie Mercer, who merged his Rozon-Mercer Management with Thruline in 2005. “Steve has been a dedicated member of our team for a decade and has consistently shown both a keen eye for spotting new talent and a deftness in helping to guide careers,” the partners said today in a joint statement.

This just in: Psych has been around for a very long time.

And as the USA Network hit embarks on Season 8, it's doing something very cool with such a vast resume of guest stars in its rear view mirror.

As teased below by producers Steve Franks and Chris Henze, the series will remake the episode "Cloudy with a Chance of Murder" into "Cloudy with a Chance of Improvement." It will feature a number of familiar faces who have stopped by the comedy in the past... only this time they'll be playing different characters.

Corbin Bernsen and Kirsten Nelson talked about their characters and their semi-retirements. James Roday spoke on his next directorial stint.

Psych is a warm and engaging and frequently hilarious show, and having spoken to the cast and crew at Sdcc, I can attest that they are just as much of a blast to talk to as the show is to watch. I got to sit down with James Roday, Dulé Hill, Cary Elwes, Timothy Omundson, Maggie Lawson, Kirsten Nelson, Corbin Bernsen, Steve Franks, Chris Henze, and Kelly Kulchak and dish about the show.

"Do you know how many bunny pictures you're going to get?" -- Maggie Lawson to Timothy Omundson after he said he cries a lot

"This is absolutely embarrassing!" -- Dule Hill

The winner of the vote for the extra "Psych" episode is "Nightmare on State Street."

James Roday and Dule Hill performed an acapella version of a song from "Psych the Musical." The musical looks awesome, by the way. Shawn and Lassie do a tango.

Guess what, ComicMix readers? Convention season is upon us! Hurrah!

“Aw, shucks,” you say. “I can’t make it to any conventions.”

Fear not, faithful friends! I am here to save the day by attending and reporting back for you. And I am psyched about it. Yes, I’ll probably need to hibernate my con exhaustion away afterwards, but man, I love the energy and excitement of a good con. And good thing, too, because this year, I’m planning to attend The North American Discworld Convention; San Diego Comic Con; Dragon*Con; Baltimore Comic Con; the Small Press Expo; New York Comic Con; and Capclave. Whew!

NADWCon and Sdcc are right around the corner, so I’m extra excited about those! Here’s what I’m looking forward to:

The North American Discworld Convention

The NADWCon is taking place in Baltimore, MD from July 5th to 8th, and memberships are still available!

Today’s news isn’t really about doing your civic duty. Rather, in the name of good entertainment, fans of USA network series, Psych are being asked to vote. Before you pull out the markers and start designing James Roday for President signs, let me explain. The vote is for which storyline you’d like to see in upcoming series 8 episodes.

The happy news this week is that the USA network has expanded its order. Instead of just 8 shows, season 8 has been bumped up to consist of 10 episodes. After you give a shout, keep reading because you can get involved in the fun.

THR announced that viewers like you will have the opporunity to vote on the Psych website (www.usanetwork.com/psych) for the...

Having run the creative gauntlet in the first 100 episodes of Psych, during a press set visit in celebration of the show’s 100th episode, creators and executive producers Steve Franks, Kelly Kulchak, and Chris Henze shared the secret to Psych’s success in casting characters and creating a show with a razor-sharp balance between comedy and drama that keeps the fans clamoring for more.

One of the things about Psych is that it’s got such a strong ensemble. Are we going to see some of the other characters mix it up this season?

Steve: We always wish that we could play with the dynamics of the other characters as much as possible. But we always get led back to the dynamics that are always really strong, Shawn and Julie, Shawn and Gus, Lassiter and Juliet. We definitely like to mix it up. One of my favorite thing when I...
