In an exciting update for fans of classic television, Netflix is set to welcome the critically acclaimed series "Monk" to its streaming content in the United States. Starting February 5th, 2024, all eight seasons of the Emmy Award-winning police procedural series will be available for Netflix subscribers.
"Monk," which originally aired on the USA Network from 2002 to 2009, stars Tony Shalhoub as the title character, Adrian Monk. This unique detective show blends comedy and drama, showcasing the story of a brilliant private detective with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The series not only delves into intriguing crime-solving scenarios but also offers a heartfelt exploration of Monk's personal challenges and his quest to solve his wife's unsolved murder.
Throughout its original run, "Monk" garnered critical acclaim, securing eight Emmy Awards, one Golden Globe Award, and two Screen Actors Guild Awards. It even set a record for the most-watched scripted drama episode in cable television history, a testament to its widespread popularity and impact.
Before joining Netflix's new releases in 2024, "Monk" has been available on Peacock and Prime Video, with Peacock also releasing a follow-up movie, "Mr. Monk’s Last Case: A Monk Movie," in December 2023. This move to Netflix marks another significant step in the platform's strategy to enrich its library with beloved, high-quality content.
The show's arrival on Netflix follows the platform's recent pattern of adding popular titles from various networks, including "Suits" from USA Network and a variety of Disney-owned series. While it's currently unclear if "Monk" will be available in regions outside the US come February, fans worldwide are hopeful.
For long-time admirers and new viewers alike, the availability of "Monk" on Netflix offers a perfect opportunity to dive into the intriguing world of Adrian Monk, a character whose unique blend of brilliance and vulnerability has left an indelible mark on the landscape of television comedy-dramas.
