Adrian Monk returns for one more case in December, and viewers are being given a first look at the reunion film. Peacock has released a trailer teasing Mr. Monk’s Last Case: A Monk Movie. The original Monk series ended its run on USA Network after eight seasons in 2009.

Starring Tony Shalhoub, Ted Levine, Jason Gray-Stanford, Traylor Howard, Melora Hardin, Hector Elizondo, Caitlin McGee, and James Purefoy, the series will find Monk (Shalhoub) coming out of retirement to help his journalist stepdaughter as she prepares for her wedding.

Andy Breckman (creator/writer/executive producer), David Hoberman (executive producer), and Randy Zisk (director/(executive producer) said the following about the reunion movie, per Peacock:

“It’s been nearly fourteen 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.”

The Monk film will air on December 8. The new trailer for the film is below.
