USA Network has ordered up a seventh season of Monk. The show will return with 16 new episodes, half to air beginning in July and the other half in January.
The fate of the quirky drama was up in the air due to the writers strike, writes Broadcasting & Cable.
The show was up more than 20 percent in the 18-49 demo last season over the same time period the previous year. The show’s season-six finale, Part One, drew 5.6 million total viewers at 9 p.m. Friday.
NBC had planned to air Monk and Psych on its broadcast network beginning March 2 due to a lack of original programming caused by the strike.
