Mr. Monk’s Last Case: A Monk Movie – The Sleuth Returns

After three Psych films to date, fan favorite detective Adrian Monk finally returns in Mr. Monk’s Last Case: A Monk Movie. “It’s a jungle out there…” The film might be streaming on Peacock but it’s a classic TV movie–they had 21 days to shoot the film rather than the usual 8 days per episode.
