The Big Picture

  • Monk fans have eagerly awaited a reunion since the series first concluded in 2009, which was first teased but later seemed unlikely to happen.
  • The popularity of the show and its successful finale paved the way for a potential return.
  • The COVID-19 lockdown inspired a short segment and ultimately led to the development of a feature-length reunion movie titled Mr. Monk's Last Case: A Monk Movie.
