EXCLUSIVE: An Indian remake of U.S. drama Monk is in production. The local version of the popular procedural is being made for Disney+ Hotstar.
It marks the first adaptation of the series, about a detective with obsessive-compulsive disorder, in South Asia. The greenlight from Indian streamer Disney+ Hotstar follows a deal struck between Banijay Asia and NBCUniversal Formats, which is part of Universal International Studios, to remake iconic shows for the Indian market.
The original series ran on USA Network from 2002 – 2009 and spawned a movie that played on Peacock last year. It followed Adrian Monk (Tony Shalhoub) and his assistants Sharona Fleming (Bitty Schram) and Natalie Teeger (Traylor Howard) and their work with the San Francisco Police Department on unconventional cases.
The Indian remake of the show is a first, although a Turkish Monk has been made previously. The format is licensed globally by NBCUniversal Formats.
