New “Psych” and “Monk” coming soon
USA Network’s hit series “Psych” and “Monk” will return July 18 with new seasons — the third for “Psych” and seventh for “Monk.”
But that’s not all.
Golden Globe winner and Emmy nominated actress Cybill Shepherd (“Moonlighting”) will join the cast of “Psych” in a recurring role as Madeleine, the mother of Shawn Spencer (James Roday) and ex-wife of Henry Spencer (Corbin Bernsen).
Madeleine is a private practice psychologist by trade who has also worked freelance over the years for the Santa Barbara Police Department. She is a free spirit who spent the last few years living abroad, and quite clearly the source of Shawn’s adventurous side
and similar joie de vivre. She returns from Europe and shows up to visit Shawn and Henry, stirring up memories and issues…and a bit of trouble.
And Emmy-winning and Golden Globe-nominated actor Hector Elizondo (“Chicago Hope”) has signed up for “Monk.” He will portray Adrian Monk’s (Tony Shalhoub) much-needed therapist – a role that was recently left vacant with last month’s unexpected death of Stanley Kamel, who played Monk’s beloved therapist, Dr. Charles Kroger.
“Monk will always need a therapist — and it’s a part that is pivotal to the central themes of the show,” said Jeff 
Wachtel, USA Network’s executive vice president of original programming. “When we lost Stanley, we knew we needed an actor who could bring warmth, intelligence and humor to the role. Hector was actually the first person that came to mind, and we are incredibly fortunate that he’s agreed to do some episodes with us.
