During upfront presentations this week, USA Network continued utilizing its successful combination of ordinary characters and extraordinary situations throughout its programming, writes Media Life.

Upcoming USA additions include the July debut of the hour-long drama Psych, which stars James Roday as a brilliant police consultant undercover as a psychic. Other projects include Underfunded, a one-hour show that features Mather Zickel as the top agent in the poorly funded Canadian Secret Service; In Plain Sight, which follows a Federal Marshall in witness protection; and Starter Wife, about a Hollywood divorcee. The network will also run its own late-night half-hour telenovelas, including The Hamptons, set in Long Island, and Secrets of the Spa, set in a desert resort.
