Psych season 7

The seventh season of Psych, containing 14 episodes, premiered on the USA Network in the United States on February 27, 2013. The primary run ended on May 29, 2013, but a television special, Psych: The Musical aired later in the year. James Roday, Dulé Hill, Timothy Omundson, Maggie Lawson, Corbin Bernsen, and Kirsten Nelson all reprised their roles as the main characters in the series.

Production
Steve Franks continued as showrunner of the series. The song "I Know, You Know", performed by The Friendly Indians, continued to be used as the theme song for the show.

Psych was renewed for its seventh season on January 10, 2012. On April 6, 2012, Dulé Hill tweeted that filming for the season was to begin on April 23, 2012.

The previously announced musical episode, originally thought to be part of the sixth season, aired during the seventh as a two-hour event in December 2013. However, the episode was intended to occur in the middle of the season, and it suffers several continuity errors as a result. The season also contains episodes inspired by Clue and The Blair Witch Project; the Clue-based episode aired as the series' 100th.

Cast
James Roday continued to portray the fake psychic detective Shawn Spencer. Dulé Hill appeared as Burton "Gus" Guster. Timothy Omundson and Maggie Lawson portrayed detectives Carlton "Lassie" Lassiter and Juliet "Jules" O'Hara, respectively. Corbin Bernsen continued as Henry Spencer, and Kirsten Nelson returns as SBPD Chief Karen Vick.
