Tony Shalhoub’s Agoraphobic Detective Returns On Peacock On December 8

Nov 9, 2023

How long has it been since the last case of TV’s favorite agoraphobic detective, Adrian Monk? About fourteen years, which is why Peacock has a new movie starring Tony Shalhoub’s beloved character coming out next month. “Mr. Monk’s Last Case: A Monk Movie” sees the sleuth return for one last case, which hits close to home.
Here’s an official synopsis for “Mr. Monk’s Last Case,” courtesy of Peacock:
Monk returns to solve one last, very personal case involving his beloved stepdaughter Molly, a journalist preparing for her wedding. 
Along with Shalhoub, other returning cast from “Monk” includes Ted Levine, Jason Gray-Stanford, Traylor Howard, Melora Hardin, and Hector Elizondo. New cast includes Caitlin McGee and James Purefoy.
“Monk” creator Andy Breckman returns to write “Mr. Monk’s Last Case.” He always serves as executive producer with David Hoberman and director Randy Zisk. Shalhoub also serves as executive producer.  UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group, produces the movie for Peacock.
Here’s a joint statement from Breckman, Hoberman, and Zisk about the upcoming feature: “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.”
“Mr. Monk’s Last Case” premieres exclusively on Peacock on December 8. Watch a trailer for the movie below.
