USA Network to Debut ‘Psych’ Shorts

Cable TV’s USA Network said it would air an animated short based on its series Psych during a break in each episode this season.

The vignettes range in length from 50 seconds to 2 minutes and would air in the second break of every episode of Psych beginning Friday, when the show returns with new episodes.

‘The Big Adventures of Little Shawn and Gus’ gives ‘Psych’ fans an exciting new perspective into the hit series’ characters as children, the USA Network’s Chris McCumber said in a statement. With the use of animation we can push the narrative boundaries in a fun, creative way while staying true to the show’s core sensibility.

J.J. Sedelmaier, whose studio created the shorts, described the experience as “creatively inspiring and collaborative.

I loved working with USA Network and the show’s producers and introducing them to the endless storytelling possibilities of the animation medium.
