DULE HILL BACK FOR 5TH SEASON OF 'PSYCH': USA renews comedy with a 16-episode order.

       The series stars James Roday as a fake psychic with great observational skills and Hill as his best friend and partner in their police consulting business.       

       "Psych" was a breakout hit for the network when it launched in July 2006 as the highest-rated USA series debut. It has consistently delivered solid ratings, especially in the younger demographics.      

       "Psych" will face a challenge in January when the second half of its fourth season will run for the first time without its formidable lead-in, "Monk," which is wrapping its eight-season run in December.       

       USA is still finalizing its scheduling plans for January, but "Psych" is rumored to return with original episodes January 29 and remain in its Friday 10 p.m. slot. The show's fifth season is expected to premiere in summer 2010.
