Der Hauptdarsteller Tony Shalhoub stand für weitere Staffeln/Folgen nicht zur Verfügung. Er meint, die komplette Geschichte sei erzählt. Er möchte sich demnächst auch wieder anderen Projekten widmen können und nicht einzig und allein mit „Monk“ in Verbindung gebracht werden. Die Zeit für Neues sei gekommen! Daher wird „Monk“ nicht mehr produziert …
Unter anderem möchte er wieder Theater spielen: He has been confirmed to star as Saunders in the Broadway revival of Lend Me a Tenor, which will begin performances at the Music Box Theatre on April 4, 2010, after previews from March 12.
Und hier ein Auszug aus einem Interview mit Tony Shalhoub, welches vor Ausstrahlung der 8. und letzten Staffel entstand. (Komplett nachzulesen auf http://www.eviltwinltd.com/Monk/talk.htm

What was the deciding factor to make this season the final season? – Sarah Fulgham with Totallyher.com
I think there were a lot of things at play there. I mean, long conversations that I had with Andy Breckman, one of the co-creators and the main writer. We’d been talking all along about how many seasons to do, how many episodes that he had in him as a writer. He at one point said that he didn’t think he had more than six seasons and then he got a gigantic second wind and we did the seventh. We weren’t sure when we were doing the seventh if the network was going to go with us on the eighth, but a long story short, we all kind of agreed that the eighth season would be it for all of us.
I think we’ll have 124 episodes by the end of the eighth season. I think we’re all ready to resolve the story line and move on to other things. We certainly don’t want to go too long and have the quality start to wane and just limp to the finish line. We want to go out while we still feel we’re doing great work, delivering strong episodes. We want to go out on a high.
Just because USA is bringing the series to an end, because of their choice and collectively yours as we’ve heard, that doesn’t mean another network down the line in a couple of years or so wouldn’t pick it up. Following on, of course, from the reveal of who the killer was, now is this something that you’ve thought about that maybe you would contemplate a return to the character down the line in a couple or three years perhaps? –Russell Trunk with ExculsiveMagazine.com
You know I’ve given that a lot of thought. I feel like I’m ready to put this character to rest, but by the same token, I never say never. Circumstances could change and I could change my mind. Certainly I’ve been known to change my mind. I just think time will tell. I would never ever rule something like that out. I don’t know if that answers your question.
That was kind of my question, too. Do you ever foresee maybe doing specials in the future? –Earl Dittman with Wireless Magazine
I assume you’re talking about like a TV movie or something with the character, the way Columbo did. I don’t really see that being so likely, just because I think I’m going to be busy with other things. Maybe I’m deluding myself.
Your fans want to know what’s up next for you after you’re done with Monk. Are you going to take a nice long vacation or will we get the pleasure of seeing you more on the big screen? –Rosa Cordero with Accidental Sexiness.com
Well, I don’t want to take too long a vacation, although I do think I need a break. Whenever I take too long a break or don’t work a while, all my demons start to resurface, and I go a little nuts. I did work on an independent feature this past winter, which I hope will be coming out soon called Feed the Fish, a movie that I acted in, but also co-produced, and a really nice indie. So we’re looking for distribution to sell this picture. So people should look for that.
Beyond that, I want to really, really take some time for myself to decide which direction to go next. I might do some theater for a year before I do any more television. I think I need a break from hour long episodic for a while.
am ende der serie erfährt monk, was mit seiner trudy damals geschehen ist, somit ist diese frage die sich durch die serie zeiht geklärt. Anshceinend sehen nun die Macher von Monk kein Grund die Serie fortzusetzen
