Apple TV+ Renews ‘Bad Monkey’ Season 2: Vince Vaughn Returns

Apple TV+ has some exciting news for fans of the hit comedy-drama series Bad Monkey – a second season has been officially renewed! Starring the talented Vince Vaughn as Andrew Yancy, the show will be taking a new direction for its upcoming season. Moving from the sunny Miami and Florida Keys backdrop to Los Angeles, the show will receive a fresh perspective with the help of a $20 million California tax credit.

The series, developed by the renowned Bill Lawrence, known for hits like Ted Lasso and Scrubs, promises to keep viewers entertained with more misadventures from Andrew Yancy. While the first season closely followed Carl Hiaasen’s novel Bad Monkey, the second season will introduce a new storyline influenced by Hiaasen’s unique style of dark humor and chaos in Florida.

The decision to shift production to Los Angeles was driven by both practical and creative considerations. Vince Vaughn, a native of LA, played a significant role in this decision. Although filming will primarily take place in California, there are plans for some scenes to be shot in Florida to maintain the essence of the story’s setting.

As for the cast, it’s still uncertain who will be returning for Season 2, given the resolution of many storylines in the previous season. However, fans can expect some familiar faces to make a comeback. With actors like L. Scott Caldwell, Rob Delaney, Michelle Monaghan, and Jodie Turner-Smith wowing audiences in Season 1, there’s certainly a lot to look forward to.

Bill Lawrence, the creative mind behind Bad Monkey, has his hands full with other projects like Shrinking and a possible fourth season of Ted Lasso. But fans can rest assured that his dedication to Bad Monkey will ensure the series continues to deliver its trademark wit and engaging storytelling.

Season 2 promises more laughs, unexpected twists, and a deeper dive into Andrew Yancy’s unconventional world. So, get ready for another exciting chapter of this murder mystery series when Bad Monkey returns.
