Monk Returns with One Final Case on Peacock; John Mulaney Gets 3rd Netflix Comedy Special

Peacock has announced Mr. Monk's Last Case: A Monk Movie, based on the Emmy Award-winning, critically-acclaimed, fan-favorite USA comedy starring Tony Shalhoub (Monk, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) about a brilliant San Francisco-based detective with obsessive-compulsive disorder. In the movie, Monk returns to solve one last, very personal case involving his beloved step-daughter Molly, a journalist preparing for her wedding. Stars Ted Levine (On Becoming a God in Central Florida, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom), Traylor Howard (Monk, Boston Common), Jason Gray-Stanford (Percy Jackson and The Olympians, The Painter), Melora Hardin (The Office, Transparent) and Hector Elizondo (Pretty Woman, Chicago Hope) will reunite with Shalhoub (also an executive producer). The movie will also come from the original creative team, including creator, executive producer and writer Andy Breckman, executive producer David Hoberman, executive producer/director Randy Zisk. The studio behind the movie is UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group. All eight seasons of Monk are currently available to stream on Peacock.
Emmy-Award winning comedian, writer and actor John Mulaney is back with a brand new Netflix special, John Mulaney: Baby J, premiering globally April 25th. This is Mulaney's third Netflix stand-up special following The Comeback Kid (2015) and Kid Gorgeous (2018). Netflix also premiered Mulaney's variety special John Mulaney & The Sack Lunch Bunch in 2019.
