“It’s been 12 years since the world has seen a fresh installment of Monk,” creator/writer/executive producer Andy Breckman, EP David Hoberman and director/EP Randy Zisk said in a statement. “The world has changed mightily in those intervening years and Monk 2023 reflects the changing world. We’re so delighted to have made a movie version of Monk, and we are thrilled that every one of our stars were so enthusiastic about coming back. But in coming back, we wanted to do a film that was worthy of our legacy. Mr. Monk’s Last Case is a story that is powerful, emotional, funny, heartwarming and has something to say about the human condition. And it will be both familiar and surprising.”
