Apple's acclaimed hit comedy "Bad Monkey" lands season two renewal

Vince Vaughn to return in his broadly celebrated performance as Andrew Yancy in fan-favorite comedy from award-winning executive producer Bill Lawrence Based on Carl Hiaasen's New York Times bestselling novel and enduring cult favorite, the first season of "Bad Monkey" is now streaming globally on Apple TV+

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.

"I hope that people know that Carl Hiaasen is an idol of mine and an inspiration for me as a writer," said showrunner and executive producer Bill Lawrence. "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."

"Since 'Bad Monkey' first made its debut on Apple TV+, this highly entertaining series became an instant fan favorite," said Matt Cherniss, head of programming for Apple TV+. "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.

The season one ensemble cast also includes L. Scott Caldwell ("The Fugitive"), Rob Delaney ("Catastrophe"), Meredith Hagner ("Search Party"), Natalie Martinez ("Ordinary Joe," "Reminiscence"), Alex Moffat ("Saturday Night Live," "Holidate"), Michelle Monaghan ("Gone Baby Gone"), Ronald Peet ("First Reformed") and Jodie Turner-Smith ("Queen & Slim"), with special guest stars John Ortiz ("American Fiction"), Zach Braff ("Scrubs"), Ashley Nicole Black ("Ted Lasso"), Scott Glenn ("The Leftovers") and Charlotte Lawrence in her television debut.

Hailing from Warner Bros. Television, "Bad Monkey" is developed by executive producer and showrunner Lawrence through his Doozer Productions. Jeff Ingold, Matt Tarses ("Scrubs"), Marcos Siega, Vaughn and Liza Katzer are also executive producers.

The complete first season of "Bad Monkey" is now streaming globally on Apple TV+.

This marks the most recent collaboration between Lawrence and Warner Bros. Television for Apple TV+, following the Emmy-nominated global hit series "Shrinking" and global phenomenon "Ted Lasso."
