Joe Otterson TV Reporter “Bad Monkey” has been renewed for Season 2 at Apple TV+, Variety has learned. The series originally debuted on Apple’s streaming service back in August with the season finale airing in October.

The first season was based on the novel of the same name by Carl Hiaasen. There is a sequel novel to “Bad Monkey” titled “Razor Girl,” but according to an individual with knowledge of the production, Season 2 will not be based on that book.

Bill Lawrence developed “Bad Monkey” for television with Vince Vaughn starring in the lead role. “I hope that people know that Carl Hiaasen is an idol of mine and an inspiration for me as a writer,” Lawrence said. “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.” Per the official logline, the series “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.
