Indian Adaptation of ‘Monk’ Heads to Disney+ Hotstar

Popular American detective series gets a South Asian makeover in groundbreaking deal

Streaming service Disney+ Hotstar is developing a local version of the American television show “Monk” for Indian viewers. This marks the first South Asian adaptation of the beloved detective comedy series, which originally aired in the United States from 2002 to 2009.

The Indian remake stems from an agreement between production companies Banijay Asia and NBCUniversal Formats. Their partnership aims to bring popular American shows to India through localized adaptations. “Monk” will be the first result of this collaboration coming to Disney+ Hotstar.

Sumanta Bose, head of content for Disney+ Hotstar’s Hindi platform, said “Monk” was “an exciting fit” for its mix of humor, mystery and emotional depth. Bose stated the adaptation has been crafted to feel rooted in Indian culture while still offering fans, new and old, a fresh experience.

The original “Monk” followed Adrian Monk, a detective with obsessive-compulsive disorder, as he helped the San Francisco police solve unusual cases. Its blend of humor, mystery and compelling main character earned the show widespread popularity and critical praise. Actor Tony Shalhoub’s role as Monk won him multiple awards.

Deepak Dhar, founder and CEO of production companies Banijay Asia and Endemol Shine India, noted the high standards set by the original series. Dhar said their adaptation aims to similarly resonate with audiences. He also commented that production is progressing smoothly so far.

While Turkey has adapted “Monk” before, this marks the first remake in South Asia – showing the format’s global appeal. The deal also leaves room for possible Indian versions of other NBCUniversal shows like “Suits,” “House,” “Saturday Night Live” and “Top Chef” in the future.

Ana Langenberg, senior vice president of format sales and production at NBCUniversal Formats, expressed confidence that trusted partners like Banijay Asia and Disney+ Hotstar could capture what made fans connect with the original while localizing the cultural context.

This latest adaptation represents the growing trend of international programs being adapted for Indian audiences and underscores streaming platforms’ increasing demand for quality character-driven stories in the region. Viewers both familiar with “Monk” and newcomers alike now eagerly await to see how this beloved mystery is reimagined for India. No release date has been set yet for the Indian version on Disney+ Hotstar.
