‘Bad Monkey’ Season 2 Return Date Set At Apple With First Look Photos
Vince Vaughn’s Andrew Yancy will return in Bad Monkey Season 2, which debuts December 2 on Apple TV.
Based on Carl Hiaasen’s New York Times bestselling novel and enduring cult favorite, the 10-episode sophomore season will revolve around an all-new original story, making its global debut on Apple TV Dec. 2 with its first episode followed by one new episode every Wednesday through February 3, 2027.
After Yancy witnesses the murder of Florida’s finest fixer, an ambitious state attorney teams him up with a strait-laced forensic accountant to solve the crime. Eager to regain his detective’s badge, Yancy finds himself embroiled in a turf war between rival criminal organizations as he navigates a variety of Florida oddballs, including an erudite mob boss, his unhinged son, and a hard-edged young woman who needs Yancy’s protection.
Meanwhile, Yancy contends with his aging father; unresolved romantic tension with Dr. Rosa Campensino (Natalie Martinez), who launches her own investigation into a mysterious rash; and a bombastic animal relocation specialist whose business threatens the local environment.
Season 2 is led by returning stars Vaughn, Natalie Martinez, Charlotte Lawrence and John Ortiz alongside new additions John Malkovich, Yvonne Strahovski, Zavior Phillips. Nate Jackson, Sofia Boutella, Brent Morin, Joey Avery, Dax Shepard, Sam Jaeger, Margarita Levieva, Peter Billingsley and June Diane Raphael are guest stars. Keyla Monterroso Mejia (The Studio) and Mo Amer (Mo) have been tapped for recurring roles.
Produced by Warner Bros. Television, “Bad Monkey” is developed by executive producer and showrunner Bill Lawrence through his Doozer Productions and its overall deal with WBTV. Jeff Ingold, Matt Tarses, Vaughn, Liza Katzer, Adam Sztykiel, Chris Downey, and Carl Hiaasen are also executive producers.
