Today, on Tony Shalhoub‘s birthday, Peacock has released first look photos from the upcoming film, Mr. Monk’s Last Case: A Monk Movie, streaming December 8th on the platform. Tony Shalhoub stars and executive produces, with Caitlin McGee (Mythic Quest) and James Purefoy (Pennyworth) newly joining the cast. Returning Monk cast include Ted Levine, Jason Gray-Stanford, Traylor Howard, Melora Hardin, and Hector Elizondo. The synopsis reads: “Monk returns to solve one last, very personal case involving his beloved stepdaughter Molly, a journalist preparing for her wedding.”
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.
