BAD MONKEY — SEASON 2

Bad Monkey Season 2 Brings Vince Vaughn Back for Another Wild Florida Mystery

Andrew Yancy just can't seem to stay out of trouble.

And in Florida, trouble has a way of finding him.

Vince Vaughn returns as Andrew Yancy in Season 2 of Bad Monkey, the Apple TV comedy that combines murder mysteries, eccentric characters and the kind of Florida chaos that almost seems too ridiculous to be real.

After his first adventure involving a severed human arm, a suspicious death and an unforgettable collection of Florida locals, the former Miami detective turned health inspector is getting pulled into another dangerous investigation.

This time, Yancy witnesses a murder.

When a well-connected Florida fixer is killed, an ambitious state attorney pairs Yancy with a straight-laced forensic accountant to help solve the case.

But what starts as a murder investigation quickly spirals into something much bigger.

Yancy finds himself caught in a turf war between rival criminal organizations, crossing paths with an intelligent mob boss, his unpredictable son and a tough young woman who desperately needs his protection.

And that's just his professional life.

On the personal side, Yancy is dealing with his aging father and unresolved romantic feelings for Dr. Rosa Campesino (Natalie Martinez), who's busy investigating a mysterious rash of her own.

Meanwhile, an outspoken animal relocation specialist is creating problems for the local environment.

Just another perfectly normal week in Florida.

Developed by Bill Lawrence, the creator behind Ted Lasso and Shrinking, Bad Monkey returns with an entirely original story following its first season, which was based on Carl Hiaasen's bestselling novel.

The new season reunites Vaughn with Natalie Martinez, Charlotte Lawrence and John Ortiz, while welcoming John Malkovich, Yvonne Strahovski and Zavior Phillips to the cast.

With its mix of crime, dark comedy and colorful Florida personalities, Bad Monkey continues following a man who might be better off minding his own business.

Unfortunately for Yancy, that's never been his strong suit.

Bad Monkey Season 2 premieres Wednesday, December 2, 2026, on Apple TV, with one new episode released every Wednesday through February 3, 2027.
