Adrian Monk is officially coming back. Tony Shalhoub is set to reprise his role as the titular former homicide detective from the USA Network mystery dramedy in the upcoming Peacock film, Mr. Monk’s Last Case: A Monk Movie. Deadline reports that the new movie will be releasing on Dec. 8 on the NBCUniversal streaming service.

Shalhoub will also be joined by several returning cast members from the original series, including Ted Levine (Leland Stottlemeyer), Traylor Howard (Natalie Teeger), Jason Gray-Stanford (Randy Disher), Melora Hardin (Trudy), and Hector Elizondo (Dr. Neven Bell). Home Economics vet Caitlin McGee and James Purefoy from Sex Education will be portraying new characters in the movie. The original series ran for eight seasons on USA Network, with the series finale airing on Dec. 4, 2009. So, the premiere date for the movie is almost perfect. Peacock also released some first-look photos from the film, which can be checked out below, as well as a synopsis.

With their daughter getting married, it’s no surprise that Monk would be joined by his wife, Trudy (Melora Hardin). From the looks of the photo, it’s safe to assume that they are still very much together, but what have they been up to all this time?

Also returning for Mr. Monk’s Last Case is Hector Elizondo as Dr. Neven Bell. While he first appeared in Season 8 of Monk as a psychiatrist, it seems like the two still have quite a lot to talk about.

While it will be nice to see the old Monk gang back together, it is going to be fun to see how the new characters do. It already looks like James Purefoy’s Rick Eden is going to be one to watch out for.
