Monk fans are in for a treat! The cast of the USA Network TV show recently reunited for Peacock’s new At-Home Variety Show, Deadline reports.
Created by Andy Breckman, Monk stars Tony Shalhoub as Adrian Monk, a private detective with an obsessive-compulsive personality disorder. The show’s cast also includes Bitty Schram, Jason Gray-Stanford, and Ted Levine. The series ran for eight seasons before ending in 2009.
For the first episode of the new streaming service Peacock‘s At-Home Variety Show, Shalhoub reprised his Monk character and “reunited” with fellow castmates Ted Levin, Traylor Howard, and Jason Gray-Stanford. Not surprising, Mr. Monk isn’t handling the quarantine all that well.
