The quirky, sun-soaked mystery series Bad Monkey has been a wild ride for viewers since its premiere on Apple TV+. The show which is based on the best-selling book by Ted Lasso creator Bill Lawrence and starring Vince Vaughn as retired detective Andrew Yancy, follows him as he makes his way through the morally dubious seas of crime and mayhem in the Florida Keys. With its quirky characters and surprising turns, the series captivated viewers by fusing humour, regional flavour, and dark secrets. But as the first season comes to an end, viewers have just one nagging question: Will Bad Monkey make a comeback in the future?
Is Bad Monkey Renewed or Cancellation?
Apple TV+ has not yet formally announced the renewal or cancellation of Bad Monkey for Season 2. Still, everything seems to be pointing to a successful future for the show. The show’s creator, Bill Lawrence, has experience with success on streaming services; he has created hits including Ted Lasso and Shrinking. A renewal appears plausible given the season one cliffhanger and Lawrence’s stated intention to have the program last for multiple seasons.
In interviews, Lawrence has even hinted at a potential three-season run, with the second season possibly drawing inspiration from Hiaasen’s Razor Girl, the upcoming book starring Andrew Yancy. Actually, believing in the content from the books and the creative possibilities they could explore in later seasons — Lawrence and Vaughn had presented Bad Monkey to Apple with a distinct three-season arc.
What Can We Anticipate From Bad Monkey Season 2?
If the show is renewed, Bad Monkey Season 2 will probably go deeper into Razor Girl’s story and provide Yancy with even more ridiculous and exciting escapades. Merry Mansfield, a con man who specialises in staging auto accidents to pull off schemes, is introduced to us in Razor Girl. When Yancy is mixed up in a case involving this femme fatale who wields a razor, his world is flipped upside down once more. With a colourful ensemble of characters that includes renegade reality TV stars and mafia kingpins, Season 2 is sure to be just as crazy and darkly comical as Season 1.
Yancy’s journey is not an easy one. It is also possible that he will continue to develop in his fight to retrieve his detective badge, given how Season 1 left him juggling both personal and professional issues. Anticipate more mayhem in Key West—with peculiar crimes—odd cases and even stranger wildlife.
Bad Monkey Season 2 Release Date
Although Season 2’s official release date has not yet been revealed, if Apple TV+ approves the project quickly, we may be able to anticipate a new season in late 2025. Given the positive reviews for Season 1, Lawrence has stated that he is eager to carry on the plot, and it won’t be long until viewers can witness the resolution of Yancy’s next case.
All of the episodes of Bad Monkey Season 1 are currently available for streaming on Apple TV+, allowing fans to relive the bizarre exploits and dream of more wild Florida fun in the near future.
