‘Mr. Monk’s Last Case’: Cast, Plot, Streaming Details & Everything We Know

Do you happen to hear a catchy acoustic guitar in the distance? If so, that may be because Peacock is prepping for the return of Adrian Monk (Tony Shalhoub) with Mr. Monk’s Last Case: A Monk Movie. As the title implies, Mr. Monk’s Last Case is a sequel film to the hit Emmy Award-winning series Monk (2002-2009). Starring four-time Emmy Award-winning actor Tony Shalhoub, the beloved series is named after Adrian Monk – the titular germaphobic private detective who has suffered from obsessive-compulsive disorder ever since the murder of his wife. What appears as a debilitating disability to some certainly presents its fair share of challenges for the now-former San Francisco Police Department employee. Still, he proves time and time again that he’s able to use his condition to his advantage through his impeccable attention to detail and meticulous problem-solving. There are, of course, so many detective shows that are, were, and are going to be on television, but what sets Monk apart from other entries in the genre is an endlessly lovable protagonist, a big heart to go along with its even bigger sense of humor, and a refreshingly positive look at mental health and the trauma caused by grief.
