MUMBAI:Star World presents a brand new American comedy-drama series starring James Roday as Shawn Spencer, a young police consultant whose "heightened observational skills" and impressive detective instincts lead people to believe that he‘s psychic. The show also stars Dul? Hill as Shawn‘s best friend, and reluctant partner Gus, and Corbin Bernsen as Shawn‘s captious father, Henry. Tune in to the pilot episode of PSYCH, this Monday, May 7th at 10 p.m. only on Star World.

Raised in Santa Barbara, Shawn possesses uncanny powers of observation honed by his police officer father, Henry, who drilled young Shawn to note even the smallest of details from his surroundings as a way of grooming him for his inevitable career in the family business. Unfortunately, when a rift develops between father and son, Shawn finds himself taking a series of random jobs instead of becoming the detective he was groomed to be. However, for the fun of it, he makes a habit of calling in tips to the police about cases he reads about or sees on television, and when one of his tips appears too close to the truth, the police are convinced that Shawn is an accomplice and arrest him. Using his charm and well-tuned talent, Shawn convinces the cops that he‘s actually a psychic, and although highly skeptical of his explanation, they hire him to help solve tough cases. With the reluctant assistance of his best friend, Gus (Hill), Shawn uses his skills of observation and charismatic personality to become the detective he was trained to be, opening his own PI agency, PSYCH, and solving cases for an ever-suspicious - but grudgingly impressed - police force.

So don‘t forget to tune in to the pilot episode of PSYCH this coming Monday, May 7th at 10 p.m. only on Star World.
