Following its critically acclaimed and Rotten Tomatoes Certified Fresh first season, Apple’s hit comedy series “Bad Monkey,” from award-winning executive producer Bill Lawrence, and starring and executive produced by actor, producer and screenwriter Vince Vaughn, has been renewed for a second season.

Showrunner and executive producer Bill Lawrence: "I hope that people know that Carl Hiaasen is an idol of mine and an inspiration for me as a writer. To get to go on telling his story with Vince Vaughn and this great cast, at least the characters who are still alive, is very exciting. I’m very thankful to our partners at Apple TV+ and Warner Bros, as well as the entire team that helps bring this show to life."

Matt Cherniss, head of programming for Apple TV+: "Since ‘Bad Monkey’ first made its debut on Apple TV+, this highly entertaining series became an instant fan favorite. Led by the incomparable Vince Vaughn as Andrew Yancy, alongside a brilliant ensemble cast, we can’t wait for everyone to experience more hilarious, sun-soaked, beachy misadventures from the mind of Bill Lawrence as the temperature rises even further in the next chapter of this engrossing murder-mystery."

Since its global debut on Apple TV+, “Bad Monkey” has been hailed as “the surprise hit TV show of 2024” and “a must-watch for anyone looking for their next binge-worthy show.” Vaughn’s portrayal of lead character Andrew Yancy has been celebrated as “an incredibly winning performance” in “a vehicle tailor-made” for the actor. Developed by Lawrence and adapted from Hiaasen’s New York Times bestselling cult favorite novel of the same name, fans have declared that the series “finally captures the bestselling author’s unique comic vision,” and the series has received praise for its “stellar cast,” “amazing soundtrack” and “laugh-out-loud moments."

“Bad Monkey” tells the story of Andrew Yancy (Vaughn), who has been bounced from the Miami Police Department and is now a health inspector in the Keys. But after stumbling upon a case that begins with a human arm fished up by tourists, he realizes that if he can prove murder, he’ll be back in. He just needs to get past a trove of Floridian oddballs and one bad monkey.

No Scheduled date has been announced for season two.
