‘Monk’ is not only one of the most popular crime series of all time in the United States, the investigative work of the wayward private detective Adrian Monk (Tony Shalhoub) was also very popular in Germany: Adrian appeared in 125 episodes spread over 8 episodes. Monk spent seasons solving crimes while suffering from many obsessive-compulsive disorders.
In 2009, Monk appeared for the last time as a sniffer and managed to solve the biggest case of his career in the grand finale of the award-winning series: the death of his wife. This concluded the “Monk” chapter. For now. Now the comeback of the cult detective is imminent. Not in series form, but with the film ‘Mr. “Monk’s Last Case: A Monk Movie”.
While the ‘Monk’ special was released in the US on December 8, 2023, we now know when we’ll see the feature film in this country: On February 2, 2024 on MagentaTV the time has finally come. “Monk” fans can mark the date in red on their calendar with a pre-disinfected ballpoint pen.
This is “Mr. Monk’s Last Case: A Monk Movie”
Monk is once again confronted with a rather personal matter. His stepdaughter Molly (Caitlin McGee) wants to get married. But unfortunately, it was mainly the future husband who was murdered. So the dream wedding thing is over again. But it goes without saying that Adrian Monk offers his help and gets to the bottom of the matter.
In addition to Tony Shalhoub, who can of course be seen again in the lead role of the same name, fans of the series can also look forward to a number of other returnees. Traylor Howard will also be there as Monk’s assistant Natalie Teeger. In addition, several other stars from the original series, Ted Levine, Jason Gray-Stanford, Hector Elizondo and Melora Hardin, are back in their familiar roles.
