Who’s the Big Bad in Psych the Movie? Looks like it’s Chuck himself — aka Zachary Levi — with blonde hair as ruthless villain Thin White Duke.

Psych/Chuck Crossover.
Co-written by creator Steve Franks and star James Roday, the two-hour holiday movie picks up three years after the series finale and follows the crime-fighting team of Shawn Spencer (Roday) and Burton “Gus” Guster (Dule Hill) as they come together over the holidays after a mystery assailant targets one of their own.
Where did we leave Psych? Shawn’s police officer father Henry Spencer (Corbin Bernsen) trained him as a boy to remember every detail of his surroundings. Over eight seasons on the USA Network, Shawn passed off this remarkable observational ability as psychic powers. And with the help of his best friend Gus, helped solve crimes for the Santa Barbara Police Department. The series wrapped with Shawn travelling to San Francisco to propose to his girlfriend, former SBPD officer Juliet O’Hara (Maggie Lawson). Original SBPD officer Chief Karen Vick (Kirsten Nelson) is back too. Not sure about Carleton “Lassie” Lassiter (Timothy Omundson), who’s in hospital. Update: Timothy Omundson will film his scenes in Los Angeles after he recovers from a stroke.
“Steve [Franks] and James [Roday] have taken the unique brand of comedy that the series honed over eight seasons and packed it into a two-hour movie that successfully rekindles one of the greatest bro-mances in television history,” said NBC Universal Cable Entertainment president Chris McCumber in a statement.
