Mr. Monk’s Last Case: A Monk Movie: This is what you may want to know before watching film
Mr. Monk’s Last Case: A Monk Movie is available for streaming on Peacock. Premiering in 2002 on the USA Network, Monk became a hit, marking the start of the 'blue sky programming' era. Tony Shalhoub won three Emmy Awards for Best Actor in a Comedy Series for his role as Adrian Monk.
Adrian Monk, a former top investigator for the San Francisco Police, developed obsessive-compulsive disorder and various phobias after his wife's murder. Despite these challenges, Monk's attention to detail made him a successful investigator, often solving murders others couldn't. Each episode showcased Monk piecing together clues and revealing the truth.
Monk, a consultant for the SFPD, worked with his caretakers Sharona Fleming (Bitty Schram) and later Natalie Teeger (Traylor Howard). Leland Sottlemeyer (Ted Levin) and Lieutenant Randy Disher (Jason Gray-Stanford) were key characters, with Monk’s therapist, Dr. Charles Kroger (Stanley Kamel), and his later shrink, Dr. Neven Bell (Hector Elizondo). The show ended after eight seasons, with Monk solving his wife's murder and continuing his work with Natalie.
The new reunion movie, impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, follows Monk investigating the death of Trudy’s daughter’s fiancé, potentially his last case. All eight seasons of Monk are available on Prime Video and Peacock, with a 2020 short, “Mr. Monk Shelters In Place,” on Peacock's YouTube channel, depicting the cast coping with the pandemic.
