Apple TV+ renews top comedy series for second season

Apple TV+ has just announced the exciting news that their top-rated comedy, Bad Monkey, will be returning for a second season. Starring Vince Vaughn and based on Carl Hiaasen’s novel of the same name, this series has been a fan favorite with its perfect blend of humor and mystery.

The first season of Bad Monkey took some creative liberties with the original novel, and for the upcoming season, the creators are planning to shake things up even more by deviating from the second book in the series. According to reports from Variety, the creative team, led by Bill Lawrence, has a three-season arc in mind for the show.

Bill Lawrence, the mastermind behind other hit series like Ted Lasso, expressed his admiration for Carl Hiaasen, saying, “Carl Hiaasen is a true idol for me, and being able to continue telling his story with Vince Vaughn and the incredible cast we have is a dream come true.”

While an official release date for the new season has not been confirmed, it is likely that Bad Monkey will be back on Apple TV+ screens in August 2025. The one-year gap between seasons allows for careful development and ensures that the narrative quality of the show remains top-notch.

With other Apple TV+ favorites like Silo and Invasion also receiving renewals, fans can’t help but speculate about what surprises lie ahead now that Bad Monkey is forging its own path away from the original source material. This creative freedom promises to deliver more of the sharp humor and eccentric characters that viewers have come to love since the show’s debut.
