Entertainment Weekly has revealed that Ralph Macchio will be reprising the role of police academy officer Nick Conforth in the upcoming TV special Psych: The Movie.
“He’s actually a big catalyst to get our investigation going. He holds one of the key pieces of information,” creator Steve Franks told the outlet. “He actually functioned perfectly within the framework of the story and that was kind of the key [to bringing his character back].”
Psych: The Movie picks up three years after the series finale and sees Shawn (James Roday) and Gus (Dulé Hill) on the trail of the Thin White Duke, played by Zachary Levi. Also returning for the two hour special are Timothy Omundson, Maggie Lawson, Corbin Bernsen, and Kirsten Nelson.
Psych: The Movie will air on USA Network in December.
