To the surprise of no one, Monk was renewed for a seventh season. What is surprising is that season seven will likely be the last one. According to reports, the series is getting very expensive to produce. Keep in mind that Tony Shalhoub just got a new contract, so I’m wondering how much of the show’s cost is to keep him onboard. It’s not like they could dump him; he’s integral to the show.
With the end of the series on its way, it does appear that the mythology of the show will come to a conclusion. The mythology, of course, is what happened to Trudy. Who killed her and why.
Thankfully, we’ll have other shows to watch alongside Monk. PSYCH and Burn Notice were both renewed. USA Network programming is some of my favorite, but it’s too bad The Dead Zone and The 4400 were canceled.
