Andrew Yancy is back, and Florida is getting weird again. Apple TV has released the first trailer for Bad Monkey Season 2, bringing Vince Vaughn back as the unconventional detective for another round of crime, comedy and questionable characters.
Developed by Ted Lasso creator Bill Lawrence and based on Carl Hiaasen’s bestselling novel, the 10-episode second season introduces an entirely new story while bringing back familiar faces, including Natalie Martinez, Charlotte Lawrence and John Ortiz.
This time around, Yancy finds himself investigating the murder of Florida’s finest fixer after witnessing the crime firsthand. Paired with a by-the-book forensic accountant, he gets caught in a turf war between rival criminal organizations. Along the way, he encounters an eccentric mob boss, an unpredictable son, and a young woman who needs his protection. Naturally, that’s only part of the trouble. Yancy also has family complications, unresolved romantic tension with Dr. Rosa Campesino, and an investigation involving a mysterious rash.
Joining the returning cast are John Malkovich, Yvonne Strahovski and Zavior Phillips, with guest appearances from Nate Jackson, Sofia Boutella, Dax Shepard, Sam Jaeger and others.
Vaughn once again leads the series while serving as executive producer, with Lawrence returning as showrunner. If the first season was any indication, expect plenty of sharp humor, Florida oddities and criminal misadventures.
Bad Monkey Season 2 premieres Wednesday, December 2, 2026, on Apple TV, with new episodes arriving weekly through February 3, 2027. The first season is also available to stream now.
