Monk is returning to solve one last cast. The Peacock streaming service announced the premiere date for the reunion movie, Mr. Monk’s Last Case: A Monk Movie, with the release of first-look photos. The original series aired on USA Network for eight seasons between 2002 and 2009.
Starring Tony Shalhoub, the series will have the beloved character trying to solve a case that hits close to him. It involves “his beloved stepdaughter Molly, a journalist preparing for her wedding.” Ted Levine, Jason Gray-Stanford, Traylor Howard, Melora Hardin, and Hector Elizondo are also returning for the film.
Andy Breckman, David Hoberman, and Randy Zisk said the following about the reunion movie, per Peacock:
“It’s been twelve years since the world has seen a fresh installment of MONK. The world has changed mightily in those intervening years and MONK 2023 reflects the changing world. We’re so delighted to have made a movie version of MONK, and we are thrilled that every one of our stars were so enthusiastic about coming back. But in coming back, we wanted to do a film that was worthy of our legacy. MR MONK’S LAST CASE is a story that is powerful, emotional, funny, heartwarming, and has something to say about the human condition. And it will be both familiar and surprising.”
Mr. Monk’s Last Case: A Monk Movie arrives on December 8th. Check out more photos for the film below.
