About Monk
Monk ran for 125 episodes on USA Network, from July 12, 2002 to December 4, 2009. Tony Shalhoub plays Adrian Monk, a former San Francisco homicide detective turned private consultant whose obsessive-compulsive disorder both cracks cases and complicates his life. Bitty Schram co-stars as assistant Sharona Fleming for the first three seasons, with Traylor Howard taking over as Natalie Teeger from season 3.
Mr. Monk's Last Case premiered on Peacock on December 8, 2023, with series creator Andy Breckman writing and most of the main cast back. It is set roughly a dozen years after the finale, so watch it last. This list follows air order, which is also story order.
Good to know
Episode counts: season 1 has 13 episodes, seasons 2 through 8 have 16 each. Stanley Kamel (Dr. Kroger) died in 2008, and Hector Elizondo joins as Dr. Bell from season 7. The 2020 online short Mr. Monk Shelters in Place and the tie-in novels sit outside this list. No further film or revival had been announced as of September 17, 2026.
