Shawn and Gus are on their way back to Santa Barbara, and this time the client is one of their own. Psych 2: Lassie Come Home (2020) reunites the pair for a case that starts with an attack on a friend.

What is Psych 2: Lassie Come Home about?

Carlton Lassiter, chief of the Santa Barbara police, is ambushed and left for dead. News of the attack brings Shawn and Gus home to stand by the man they once worked alongside, and standing by him quickly turns into investigating on his behalf. What they find refuses to stay in one category. Part of the trouble is personal, bound up with old loyalties and with Lassiter's own recovery. Part of it is professional, the sort of puzzle the duo have always been drawn to. And part of it seems to brush against the supernatural, leaving everyone unsure how much of what they are told can be trusted.

About the cast

James Roday and Dulé Hill head the cast, with Timothy Omundson, Maggie Lawson, Kirsten Nelson and Corbin Bernsen also billed, and Jimmi Simpson and Joel McHale rounding out the list. Steve Franks directs. The film is built around a returning ensemble, so much of its appeal comes from watching a group of performers with obvious shared history trade lines again.

Context & significance

As the number in the title signals, this is the second feature-length Psych outing, and it continues with the same central partnership of Shawn and Gus. The production is credited to Canada and is listed in the catalogue under action, although the detective-duo setup and the banter between the leads matter at least as much as any chase. At 89 minutes it moves briskly and keeps to one main case. Audiences received it warmly, and it is especially popular with viewers who already know these characters; newcomers can still follow the mystery, since the premise is laid out clearly from the start.
