A second season of the series starring Vince Vaughn is expected to be produced in the next few months.
“I hope people know that Carl Hiaasen is an idol of mine and an inspiration to me as a writer,” Lawrence said. “It's very exciting to be able to continue telling his story with Vince Vaughn and this great cast, at least the characters who are still alive.” I thank our partners at Apple TV+ and Warner Bros. and the entire team that is helping bring this show to life To bring life to life, very grateful.”
According to the official description, the series “tells the story of Andrew Yancy (Vaughn), who is fired from the Miami Police Department and now works as a health inspector in the Keys.” But when he comes across a case that begins with a human arm, who was fished out of the water by tourists, he realizes that he will be reinstated if he can prove murder. “All he has to do is get past a bunch of Florida weirdos and an evil monkey.”
“Since Bad Monkey first aired on Apple TV+, this highly entertaining series has become an instant fan favorite,” said Matt Cherniss, head of programming for Apple TV+. “With the incomparable Vince Vaughn at the helm as Andrew Yancy and a brilliant ensemble on his side, we can’t wait for everyone to experience more hilarious, sun-drenched beach misadventures from the mind of Bill Lawrence as the temperature rises in the next chapter of this captivating . “Crime fiction continues to rise.”
