Tony Shalhoub slips back into Monk mode with Mr. Monk’s Last Case. Peacock just debuted the official trailer for Mr. Monk’s Last Case, a new film that reunites many of the Monk cast to solve a brand new mystery.
Joining Monk star and executive producer Tony Shalhoub for the 90-minute mystery are returning cast members Ted Levine (On Becoming a God in Central Florida), Traylor Howard (Boston Common), Jason Gray-Stanford (Percy Jackson and The Olympians), Melora Hardin (The Office), and Hector Elizondo (Chicago Hope). The cast welcomes Monk newcomers Caitlin McGee (Home Economics) as Molly Evans and James Purefoy (Sex Education) as Rick Eden.
Monk creator Andy Breckman is back as writer and executive producer. David Hoberman and Randy Zisk also return as executive producers, with Zisk also directing.
“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,” stated Breckman, Hoberman, and Zisk. “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 Plot: Monk returns to solve one last, very personal case involving his beloved stepdaughter Molly, a journalist preparing for her wedding.
Mr. Monk’s Last Case premieres on Peacock on December 8, 2023.
