![]() The original series revolved around Adrian Monk and his psychological disorder that costs him his position as a legendary homicide detective on the San Francisco police force. “We can’t wait for Peacock viewers to experience this fresh, fun and imaginative film.” “New and returning fans of Monk will love how this creative team was able to preserve all that we admire about Adrian Monk while bringing him into the present,” UCP president Beatrice Springborn said. Both Monk and Psych are produced by Peacock sibling UCP and have all their seasons available on the platform. The Monk follow-up film follows the same trajectory as Pysch, which followed with three films, the last two Peacock originals. ![]() Doing a stand-alone movie is harder to pull off financially for cable but makes business sense for a streaming platform to complement the existing library. Talk about a potential movie started shortly after the Monk finale aired, and the idea came close to fruition at least once before. It ushered in the entire Blue Sky brand that catapulted the network to the top of the cable ratings with a string of hits that included Psych, Royal Pains, White Collar, Burn Notice and Suits. Monk launched on USA in 2002 and ran for 125 episodes over eight seasons, with the series finale breaking ratings records as the most-watched cable drama at that time in 2009. “When creator Andy Breckman came to us with a new Monk case set in present day, we immediately fell in love with this story all over again,” said Michael Sluchan, EVP, Movies, Kids, Daytime, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming. “The movie has the heart and humor of the original series with a contemporary relevance, and we’re overjoyed to work with the original creative team, including Andy, David Hoberman, Randy Zisk, the unparalleled Tony Shalhoub, and our partners at UCP, for what is sure to be a must-see movie event for Peacock audiences.” In the follow-up movie, Monk, a brilliant San Francisco-based detective with obsessive-compulsive disorder, returns to solve one last, very personal case involving his beloved stepdaughter Molly, a journalist preparing for her wedding.
